I'm like "What could F16 stand for for groomers?"
Then 2 seconds later I'm like "Oh." 😑 Shocked there's not a "Tomcat" codeword (F14 eh?).
Fun fact: 14 was the Age Of Consent in Canada for many years. The NDP had a party member (the famously "first gay MP") who wanted to lower it to 12. They didn't kick him out of the party (nor for his shoplifting a $20K ring) for some reason.
The Conservative Party finally got in and raised it back to 18 +/- 4 years. The Liberals in the Senate sat on the bill for 9 months until the CBC, in a rare act of journalism, exposed their nonsense. It was passed in mere weeks after that.
The Conservatives set the age of consent to 16, not 18.
With the following exceptions : 12 and 13 can consent to have intimate relations to someone no older than 2 years more.
14 and 15 can consent to someone no older than 5 years more.
( and no limit for 16 and beyond ).
If I recall correctly, the USA has similar exceptions called ''Romeo and Juliette laws'', but they vary by states, and USA's ''default'' age of consent varies between 16 and 18 depending on state.
You are correct, my brain can get fuzzy. I thought 16 still had some limits? But probably not. Better than 14 anyhow.
Yes some US States have proper laws & others put kids in jail if they turn 18 before their girlfriend does. It's always the boys too.
