Without getting into anything else, I find interesting your statement "Sex with a 15 year-old wasn't forbidden at that time." So you COULD have had sex with her, the group would not have objected. The only reason you didn't is because of your own moral compass.

Doesn't/didn't that state of affairs tip you off that something was terribly terribly wrong?

I think that perhaps others were in the same boat as you. They did not commit criminal acts, nor witness them, but they knew, even subconsciously that such criminal acts were an accepted part of the culture of the group.
