This article is part of the Age of consent series of articles project.
In the interest of accuracy and quality it was decided by consensus* to hold these pages to a high standard of verification and to avoid ambiguity through the use of prose (not dot points) discussing the relevant statutes, case law or other authorities.
To this end all information must be properly referenced. Where writing about legislation or other law, the appropriate statutes and similar must be cited.
Where appropriate, portions of the legislation can be quoted.
Where possible, a link to an up-to-date online copy of the legislation can be included (preferably, but not necessarily, in English).
It is preferable to include any such references in-line, rather than in a separate <ref> section at the bottom of the page. This is to make it easier for readers to find the references in context.
The unfettered age of consent should be in bold text, in order that it stand out. No other ages should be in bold text. Any exceptions to should then be discussed afterwards (close in age exceptions, same sex relations etc).
Please note that ageofconsent.com is not an acceptable reference as it has not been updated since 2002.
Per the Wikipedia:Child protection policy, editors who attempt to use Wikipedia to pursue or facilitate inappropriate adult–child relationships, who advocate inappropriate adult–child relationships, or who identify themselves as paedophiles, will be indefinitely blocked.
