Court proposes lowering sex consent age to 16 yearsThe Court of Appeal has proposed a law change to lower the age of consent to 16 years. They said debate on lowering age of sexual consent was long overdue as men were languishing in jail for sleeping with teens “who were willing to be and appeared to be adults”. According to the judges, it is unrealistic to assume that teenagers and maturing adults do not engage in sex. Appeal judges referred to his case as a situation where courts were called in “to enforce with mindless zeal that which offends all notions of rationality and proportionality”.
