For those who didn’t read the article, this is an improvement, as it allows for “statutory rape” of children under 15 to be a thing. As the article mentioned, under the previous law, sex with a child was not “rape” unless there was physical force used.
Exectly. From a U.S. perspective it’s an improvement. Over the least twenty years, I’ve heard trial balloons that some on the left wanted to lower age of consent. I think progressives were the ones who originally pushed for age of consent and older age of consent laws.
