Even thought age of consent is below 18 in some countries, Americans can be prosecuted if they are under 18. Keep that in mind.

Wow I didn't knew that, you mean if it's below 18 for Americans they will be tried, but you mean in America or Outside America. And what happens if a person who is under 18 does that. Will he be prosecuted or sent to juvenile correction home?Age of Consent vs Age of Majority

=============================================

Greetings Gentlemen,

The Age of Consent is the age in which girls can participate in consensual, non-commercial sex with their teen-age boyfriend without said teen-age boyfriend being charged with statutory rape.

However, the Age of Consent is irrelevant to the members of this forum.

What you need to focus on is the Age of Majority, which among other things is the age in which they can vote, get married, enlist in the military, and participate in commercial sex activities.

Please exercise caution and govern yourself accordingly.

Thanks,

Admin

Yep, I am sure many girls go home havinghad a good education in Australia.

I'm not a fan f the organised Chinese rings. If I come in contact with girls in that way I never go back.

I'm amazed in Qld at how the councils and PLA tolerate the activity of so many massage shops which clearly can be "inferred" through the advertising for what they are. But an inferring is not enough for a conviction. I cannot see that they can contain it again now.

True. There are thousands of international students from Asia here who need money to pay their fees. Prostitution is easy to enter. Chinese gangs also bring in girls to work under bonded conditions. Digital era helps with advertising, but doesn't affect the prostitution laws. Prostitution is legal. Local councils have a problem with unlicensed brothels in their neighborhoods.

The sex industry in Australia appears to be running rampant. The laws were created before the digital age. Organised Asian influence seems to dominate.

Cheap international airfares promote easy tourism both directions.

US Federal Law folks, can not be traveling out of the country to have sex with anyone under 18. State laws only apply to sex in that state.

The PROTECT Act (18 USC 2423 (b) and (c)) stipulates penalties of up to 30 years for going overseas for commercial sex with anyone under 18 or non-commercial sex with anyone under 16. The way it was written specifies just the intent will get you 30 years' room and board, even if you strike out. Proving intent might be tricky but if you set stuff up on social media you might be burned.

Check the USA state laws, a lot of states age of consent is 16. But swapping naked photos is 18.

So, if anyone here was to say go visit Burkina Faso, it is 13 there.

But upon your return, you will most likely get checked out, and if the cops find out why you went over there and what you did over there. You would most likely be in trouble in some way.

If you go visit countries for sex, if you are 18+, best to be safe and just have sex with 18+ yr old. If unwilling, do your research and if in your country / state age of consent is 16+, just have sex with those same ages, nothing below.

It's not worth it.

In other words, if a USA Citizen is overseas and has sex with someone under 18, he can be prosecuted for statutory [CodeWord123], child abuse, etc, upon his return. Also, customs can seize your laptop, iPhone, etc and view what's on it. If you took pictures of any of your temporary girlfriends (especially naked ones) you can be prosecuted for possessing child porn. Single guys returning from SE Asia are expecially targeted at customs and immigration.

I have always been looking for an answer to this.

What is the legal age of consent in Australia? Does it vary from state to state?

What I mean by age of consent is that you would not be held to account as someone who has taken undue advantage of the other person as they were too naive to understand the motive if you engaged in consensual intercourse.

Mostly 16 in Australia, some states 17. However, this has become a legal grey area because of unfortunate criminal situations.

Consent age can also differ by the "type" of sex and other categories.

Of course always check with your local laws.

In Australia it is 16.

But with regard to teachers, social workers, etc.

People who have contact with the young person in.

A supervisory or care environment it is 18.

And if the young person has any type of mental.

Impairment, just don't dude

I'm sure you kept a close eye on the way things got legalised here in New Zealand.

I'm not sure how Australia can legalise with no consultation, but maybe after a national law is passed the individual states can consult with workers and organisations to get the best out of it. Any way you would know all this far better me.

I know the council in Christchurch was generally great, except for their zoning law ( but that was just ridiculous). And the NZPC are still carrying out focus groups about the law change. Being one of the few working girls in Christchurch that worked before and after the law change, some how I always end up in these focus groups and surveys.

But even then I notice that they are not inclusive of the whole industry. There are no trans workers, asian workers, gay. So even under our so called legalised situtation many groups are not represented.

Good luck, and if you're ever in Christchurch look me up.
