Age of Consent

Additional Information

The age at which a person is able to give consent to sexual intercourse should be firmly protected by legislation.
Judges should have no leaway in interpreting consent if one of the persons involved is under 16.
If either person is below 16 then there should be no more than 2 (two) years or 730 (seven hundred and thirty) days, age difference between the them, whichever is the greater.
Anything contrary to this should be a hard-and-fast ruling.
