19 December 2022 at 13:13 The Criminal Code Council proposes to lower the minimum sexual age to 15 years – The majority of the Sexual Offenses Committee proposes that the minimum sexual age be lowered from 16 to 15 years, the report states. The council has considered that children begin their right to sexual self-determination from the age of 15, and not 16 as today. The council’s leader Linda Gröning emphasizes that children up to the age of 18 must have stronger protection against sexual exploitation. In addition, criminal liability for sexual intercourse with children under the age of 15 shall also include whoever causes the child to have sexual intercourse with another person, she says. The Criminal Law Council handed over its report on sexual offenses and consent on Monday.
