| | Age of consent - free-definition |
| | The age of consent should not be confused with the age of majority or age of criminal responsibility, and in some jurisdictions, the marriageable age differs from the age of consent. | | | Sexual relations with a person under the age of consent is in general a criminal offence, with punishments ranging from token fines to life imprisonment. | | | In criminal law, the age of consent is the age at which a person is considered to be capable of legally giving informed consent to sexual acts with another person. |

| | Age of consent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The age of consent should not be confused with the age of majority or age of criminal responsibility, and in some jurisdictions, the marriageable age differs from the age of consent. | | | In criminal law, the age of consent (AOC) is the age at which a person is considered to be capable of legally giving informed consent to any legal contract or behavior regulated by law, including sexual acts with another person. | | | Before 2001 the homosexual age of consent in England and Wales was 18, and before the early 1990s it was 21, the age it was set at when consensual buggery was decriminalised in the 1960s. |

| | Canada's Legal Age of Consent to Sexual Activity (PRB99-3E) |
| | The exception, of course, is anal intercourse, to which unmarried persons under 18 cannot legally consent, although both the Ontario Court of Appeal(3) and the Quebec Court of Appeal(4) have struck down the relevant section of the Criminal Code. | | | The history of age of consent laws in Canada has evolved considerably in the past century so that the existing Criminal Code prohibitions against sexual contact with children bear scant resemblance to those that were in place as recently as 20 years ago. | | | Consent was not specifically precluded as a defence, however, and failure to prove that the accused was more to blame than the female person could result in acquittal. |

| | An Age of Consent" Symposium |
| | Everyone has tacitly assumed or explicitly stated that there is no legal protection or relief for the girl after she has reached the age of consent. | | | Janney attempts definition; for instance, he says that "an immoral act becomes criminal when done in violation of a law which defines the crime." It becomes illegal under those circumstances, but the law cannot make an act criminal which is not so per se. | | | But in the case of the age-of-consent law such individual relief would not be easy to obtain, no matter how intelligent and humane the parents or the girl might be. |

| | Age of Consent |
| | It is interesting that the CFAC doesn't advocate that Canadians should not be prosecuted for criminal offences until age 18. | | | My view is that raising the age of consent to the age of 18 would limit people from a lot of good experiences in life; however, people should be mature enough to know not only what they are getting into, but also the consequences. | | | People under the age of 18 are still going through very emotional and unstable times and are not in the right frame of mind to consent to sexual activity with an adult over the age of 18. |

| | Although in some cases prosecutors dropped their investigations because of either the alleged criminal's limited guilt or the athlete's consent to the battery, in other cases there still might be potential criminal liability under the German Criminal Code (StGB, Strafgesetzbuch), sections 223 (battery) and 230 (bodily harm). | | | Section 223 of the German Criminal Code is the current rule, while sections 115 to 118 have been the equivalent East German rules, indicating that criminal liability may depend on whether the coaches committed battery under former East German law. | | | Under German law, the coaches' criminal liability is heavily dependent on the athlete's behaviour. |
