Age of consent
Type: Idea
As of November 2026, Age of consent has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Megyn Kelly (Nov 2026). Used to explain why the alleged encounter with a 16-year-old could not be charged as statutory rape in the UK (age of consent 16).
The age of consent is the age at which a person is considered to be legally competent to consent to sexual acts. Consequently, an adult who engages in sexual activity with a person younger than the age of consent is unable to legally claim that the sexual activity was consensual, and such sexual activity is considered child sexual abuse or statutory rape. The person below the minimum age is considered the victim, and their sex partner the offender, although some jurisdictions provide exceptions
