Change the age of consent to protect those at 16 being groomed
Change the age of consent from 16 to 18z it can be decriminalised from 16-18 if with someone from an appropriate age, but not with someone who is older and in a position to be exploite.
It is wrong that a 16 year old can be exploited and have a sexual relationship with a 30+ year old who has manipulated by someone. We deem a 16 year old not mature enough to drink alcohol but old enough to not be groomed.
