Age of Consent

LOLs.

The info on Japan is inaccurate.

The *national* government sets 13 as the minimum age, but the prefectural (US: state) governments then add to this. There is one prefecture where 13 is legal, but all the rest have higher numbers - 15, 16, 17, 18 maybe. I don't know what it was where I lived. By the time I got there, I was 33, and the "Uncle Creepy" equation was at 24 or so by then anyway.

18 is necessary for any kind of pornography and/or prostitution. Duh. However, "subsidised dating" circumvents the prostitution law. Here, sweetie, accept this designer bag which you can sell second hand for $500. Shall we have dinner?

You want ICK factor? One case hit the media where a prosecutor tried to argue that this was in fact prostitution. The girl was 14. The John was 73.

Brain bleach in aisle 4, please.

I think Australia is more varied than the graph shows. We also do a few of the age-gap factors. I don't know the exact age of consent, because I've got to the age where if she's even close, my answer is NO. So, probably, is hers. Along with "disgrossting!"
