Bill C-2

Bill C-2’s new offence against the sexual exploitation of youth under 18 years age recognizes that sexual predators - whether they are much older or close in age - seek to exploit the particular circumstances or vulnerabilities of young persons. Bill C-2 recognizes that the age of a person can be an indicator of vulnerability; however, Bill C-2 also recognizes that there are other indicators, including:

age difference: is the other person much older than the young person?

evolution of the relationship: how did the relationship develop? For example, did it develop quickly and secretly over the Internet?

control or influence over the young person: what degree of control or influence did the other person have over the young person?

OK.....my question is whos to decide what the age difference of someone is who is "much older" is?

yes i agree, but my question is who gets to interpret this bill? What age difference is "much older"?

yea. it should be set. there should be a specific age/criteria.. but if that happnens. there cant be loopholes... ack. so horrible.

im having trouble with not understanding the law. i want to know if someone under the age of 19, but over the age of 14 can have sex with someone over the age of 18 legally. the "age of consent" is 14, but is that only when the person is under 18, or can it be over 18 to?
