Do you think that a 27 year old man should be allowed sleep with a 14 or 15 year old?
I suppose you have made the best argument possible for being allowed to shag 15 year olds Froggie.
15, virtually the same as 16 and that's legal

Well that's the problem.Do you think that a 27 year old man should be allowed sleep with a 14 or 15 year old?
China - 14. Hmmmmmmmm...
Fuck that. I'd have broken that at least once.Half your age plus seven
It does matter where you fuck them. Buggery is still illegal in some places.I didn't realise that where you fuck underage girls makes a difference in court.
Well that's the problem.
You cannot legislate for the age or age difference of one partner. So if it's legal for an 18 year old to sleep with a 16 year old then it's legal for a 68 year old to do the same too.
Which is abhorrent when you think about it, but there you go.
I'd argue few people are morally mature enough to make sensible sexual choices until 18 or older. However any teenager will argue with that. I had sex at 14 & many of my mates did too, there's no way the girls we were having sex with were mature enough, even if we were (doubtful) but you only realise that, ironically, with maturity.
Whilst 16 seems too young to me, I also understand that it's almost impossible to enforce or stop a horny teenager having sex, be they boy or girl, so the line has to be drawn somewhere. I had my own place & was working aged 16!
Leroy Fer reckons it is OK to fuck a 13 year old when you are 18.

Well yeah, of course, cos there does have to an arbitrary line somewhere.
Can the law take into account stuff like how they met? For example, if he's out on a night out in a bar it's fair to assume everyone in the bar is over 18, so if they look over 18 & don't say otherwise it's basically intrapment, isn't it?
Not saying that is what's happened in this case, but it's not hard to imagine.
If you need to go as low as 15 (even if you think she's 18) when you're 27 you should probably reevaluate how you talk to women

Just for comparative purposes (and to highlight the public (and SCM) knee-jerk JJ mentions) the legal age horny school-girls can engage in consensual sex :

Age 15: Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Greece, Iceland, Monaco, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden
Age 16: Andorra, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Finland, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Netherlands, Northern Cyprus, Norway, Russia, Spain (just raised from 13 yrs old), Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom
Age 17: Cyprus, Ireland
Age 18: Malta, Turkey, Vatican City

See above.
Of course the age of consent is completely arbitrary, based on UK societal acceptance, and actually has very little to do with sexual or mental maturity. That doesn't mean it's right, the law still needs to be upheld. However you only have to do a tour of the world to realise the law (this law) has little to do with what is 'right' and everything to do with religion and in this instance UK mores.
Very often it's the girls choice. My daughter has a girlfriend of around her age (25) who only dates older guys (and I mean 50+), of course Daddy issues but that's irrelevant, it's still her decision.
