Legal age?

[Herb_The_Perb]

Is there a standard legal age throughout Canada, or does if vary among the provinces?

In any case, what is it in BC? I seem to recall reading that the age of consent there is 14, but that seems unrealistic.
Bottom line -- if a sw looks young and you ask to check her ID, what's the safe minimum age?

(Not to be confused with the minimum wage.)

14 is the statutory age under the Criminal Code, which encompasses all of Canada. Under the CC, you can not have sex with anyone 14 or under, if you are an adult. Between 15 - 17, you need consent. 18 is the legal age in Canada, although some provinces extend the drinking age to 19. To be safe, if she looks under 18, then walk away.

Mrs. Walter, can I fuck your daughter? And, can you put your acceptance in writing?

Between 15 - 17, you need consent.

I've often wondered about this part of the Law.

Consent?

Considering that she is underaged and cannot make a legal decision, must the approval then be given by her parents or legal guardians?

Kind of a legal paradox, wouldn't you think?

No, it is not parental consent, it is consent of the minor. The reason for this is so that it takes away the burden of a statutory sexually assault, provided there is consent to sex. In the case of a minor 14 and under, consent doesn't matter, it is decreed by statute and is deemed to be sexual assault, as it would be if a minor (15-17) didn't provide their consent to sex.

Does that help?

 

[Maury Beniowski]

Help? No, because that's not my game.

Explains it? Yes, but the documentation or affidavit of proof of consent in the heat of the moment is what I still find amusing.

Thanks, guys, for the explanations -- 18 & over it is!

As odd as the under-18 consent stuff seems, I think I understand it in a zen sort of way: If she's a civilian over 15 and under 18, and she gives her consent, then all is OK. But if she's an SW in that age group, then it's a crime even if she consents.
Right?

What happens if you put the donation into a trust fund for her, which she gets legal access to on her 18th birthday?

Consent?? I thought $100 bucks was consent enough.

That kind of thinking will get ya bent over with a 300 pound mean mutha fuker ponding yo ass

Consent ... I'm a little confused. I thought all sexual intercourse ... no matter the age, had to involve consent. in all the law books I've seen, intercourse without consent = rape!!!!
