France doesn’t have an age of consent right now, but that absence does not necessarily provide perfect legal protection. A codified age of consent provides far better. For predators. An age that low, 13, is an open invitation to predators, and I imagine France has enough of its own with out putting out the red carpet for more.
But wouldn't the current lack of any age limit appeal to those real pedos who would prefer 7-8-9-10? Are they (quietly) flocking there now?
