Under age sex and statutory rape

Age of consent, what is it?

This is the age that you can legally have sex. The age is different in each country but in Britain it is 16. Generally if someone of or over the age of consent has sex with someone below the age of consent, it is called statutory rape.  For example if you are a female aged 15 and you have sex with a male who is 17 even though you are willing, the male would be guilty of statutory rape.
