Make it a specific offence to lie about your age to engage in sexual activities

Petition Details

I want the Government to make it a specific criminal offence to lie about your age to engage in sexual relations. Too many people lie about their age to engage in sexual activities, and in many cases one party wouldn't have consented if they'd know the other person's true age.

Additional Information

This is a particular issue when older men lie about their age to sleep with younger women, who might be just past the age of consent.
