i think you’re forgetting that every country has a different age for consent. japan has one of the lowest consent ages being 13 but apparently 18 is the maximum. it really depends but in this case i think the student isn’t considered a minor
while that's true that the age of consent is different depending on which country I was mostly referring to if it happened in the US.
Dude I’m in shock!!! This explains soooo much!!! Now I know why there is so much kiddie stuff.. woooow is from NZ legal age is 16 here lmao but woooooooooow 13!? Really???
Oof *im from NZ. Not * wooow is from NZ lmao
the age of consent is 18 in japan. The federal law says 13, but all prefectures independently set their own age of consent as 18.
no no no. Adults cannot have sex with 13 year olds in japan. The federal gov set the age as 13, but all prefectures chose it to be 16-18. The same age of consent for countries such as England, NZ, and the U.S. Japan also doesn’t have any Romeo and Juliet laws.
So over all the legal age is 13 but each part of japan has set their own laws for legal age? Sorry I’m from a small country so one law fits all kinda thing I feel stupid asf rn lmao
no you’re not stupid, these laws would be very confusing if you’re used to only having federal law. Having different laws only makes sense to me bc i live in the US. We have different ages of consent here too. Japan uses very ambiguous words in their laws though. Sometimes teens can be arrested for being together, sometimes they can’t. I don’t get it, but i just know it’s illegal to have sex with someone below the age of 18 if you’re over 20.
Fuck that sounds like a headache i can’t imagine living one way then moving to another town and being arrested for something we’ve always done lmfao (I say town because we don’t have states/provinces) I can barely remember most of our laws nm having to remember what state allows what shit is crazy
haha yeah i guess so ╮(￣▽￣)╭. some laws even differ from county to county, but judges and police are usually more lenient to ppl that aren’t familiar with the law. Especially in small towns and stuff
ive always wondered which way a court case would sway with an underage person raping an adult. cause by law at least in the US a minor cant consent so it automatically is rape against the minor. i guess it goes case by case but its still a wild thing to think about
