So, would you bang your 7yo daugher, if she agreed with it? And there were no laws against it?
Probably not, because of genetic relation. But I would allow someone else to, if I grew up with them, knew that they were benevolent, understood their persona, experiences, and personality.

Even if it wasn't about a 7 year old (VERY clearly not an age in which someone can or should have consensual sex), this guy obviously thinks of his daughter as property that he can give some of his friends to bang, not thinking anything of it. Her choice notwithstanding. That's immensely disturbing as well.
You can't allow someone else to molest another human being, asshole! You only decide over your own body.
And yes, THIS is why we have laws; some don't understand common sense and/or decency.
Oh crap, wait a minute...
Is this guy the dad from the infamous Chick Tract "Lisa"? (before he got "saved")

@Swede No, children can't give informed consent.
What I meant was that children have a right to be cared for, they didn't ask to be born.
And addendum for OP: a person who'd molest a 7-year-old is not benevolent in any way, shape or form.
Again most insightful comment by Swede.
Adding: the reason the age of consent is an important concept is simple. Apologists claiming that perhaps chidren may agree and even enjoy it ignore important facts, or don't consider that it's abuse of power.
Children are vulnerable, dependent on older, more capable and stronger people who can protect them and supply necessities. They are in a position of authority and power. A child saying yes to something they don't understand or want, simply feels compelled to.
Then imagine the possible complications. That child should have the opportunity to grow up and become autonomous, chose their way and perhaps even become a parent. An abuser may disrupt the way they'll treat their own children, but can also get in the way, potentially preventing normal development, stealing opportunities or forbidding them from having a real love life. And affecting the way they build trust in other people (someone they needed to trust breached it, took advantage of their vulnerability, abused them).
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
