    The age of consent under UK law is 13? Well, so noted and thanks for the info, sincerely.

    Also sincerely, that’s nuts.

      The age of consent in the UK is 16. Sex with someone younger than 16 is an offence. If the child is younger than 13 that offence is always rape. If the child is 13-15 it is still an offence, but whether it’s rape depends on the circumstances
