Age of Consent

The government in the UK are receiving pressure, which is being debated on radio stations and in legal offices, to lower the age of consent.

Personally i think that this is awful. The current age of consent is 16 in the UK..

The reason that they want the age of consent lowered is because men in clubs are saying that young women are not giving out their real age and are saying, 'I am sixteen' when they are thirteen and above. After sex, this leaves the men liable for rape charges and to be put on the sex offenders register.

Do you agree with lowering it to thirteen?

Would this pose the problem of 'I cannot tell an eleven year old from a thirteen year old'?

Would you rather raise the age of consent?

Let us know.
