I alluded to this earlier, but I wonder if stat rape cases are so common that they could not support an individualized inquiry, as opposed to the mechanical application of a bright-line rule.

That would violate the need for certainty in the law.

I don't see that at all.  Real rape cases often turn on the question of consent and most criminal cases require the establishment of an individual's mental state.  I see no fundamental difference in quality here.
