 Australian Law Zbucket If your Aussie law is as you say it is then I think it is the best of the bunch. In the UK, the legal age of consent is 16, so if a 16-year-old boy has sex with a 15-year-old girl then it is statutory rape. If it is the other way around, i.e. 16 yo girl and 15 yo boy then the girl could be charged with sexual assault. British law does not recognise that a woman can commit rape (although rare, there have been documented cases were older women have forced their attentions on teenage boys). And finally, if both participants are under 16 then the onus is on the boy. With this kind of mess I think the Australians got it right. UK Bob |
