Based on but not about the thread on the 15 year old who has recently run away/been abducted to France with her teacher.
There seems to be lots of contradictory information going on, and I just cannot get my head around it. Are the laws around sexual relationships and age of consent really all that complicated?
For example, it has been said that if a girl who is under 16, has a sexual relationship with an adult man (am thinking over 18 as from what it seems its all different again if he is under 18 but over 16) it is automatically considered rape because under 16s cannot legally consent. Is this true?
I was having sex way before 16 and on occasion with men over 18, I would happily testify to this day I was not raped, taken advantage of etc, but would the law still feel differently?
