edit] Spain
The age of consent in Spain is 13, as specified by the Spanish Penal Code, Article 181(2). However, if deceit is used in gaining the consent of a minor under 16 years an individual can be charged under Article 183(1) upon parental complaint.
"181(1) El que, interviniendo enga�o, cometiere abuso sexual con persona mayor de trece a�os y menor de diecis�is, ser� castigado con la pena de prisi�n de uno a dos a�os, o multa de doce a veinticuatro meses.
(Approximate translation: An individual who, by use of deceit, commits sexual abuse with a person over thirteen years and under sixteen years, will be punished with imprisonment for one or two years, or a fine equivalent to twelve to twenty-four months...)
(2) A los efectos del apartado anterior, se consideran abusos sexuales no consentidos los que se ejecuten sobre menores de trece a�os, sobre personas que se hallen privadas de sentido o de cuyo trastorno mental se abusare."
(Approximate translation: To the effects of the previous section, it is considered unconsenting sexual abuse those that are committed against persons under thirteen years, unconscious persons or persons whose mental illness is taken advantage of....)"
well i was close to the law at a guess
in reality thats not that different from the uk law.
AS WE WERE SAYING TO CORBSY
IF OVER 13 AND UNDER 16 AND CONSENSUAL AS LONGA S THERE WAS NO FORCING THEN NO CHARGES
ETHEL IVE SEEN A FEW FILMS AND TV PROGS SUCHA S MAGDALENE SISTERS AND IVE SPOKEN TO FOLK IN EIRE WHO SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF NUNS AND PRIESTS AND THE GARDA EITHER DID NOTHING OR THEY WERE TOO SACRED TO EVEN REPORT IT
I KNOW THINGS WILL HAVE CJANGED BUT I THINK ITS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING AND THE IRISH GOVERNMENT WAS COMPLICIT BY THEIR LACK OF ACTION
IN MY OPINION
