Today, law professor and head of the Criminal Code Council Linda Gröning handed over the Criminal Code Council’s report. The council recommends a new provision on sexual intercourse without consent. – The majority of the Sexual Offenses Committee proposes that the minimum sexual age be lowered from 16 to 15, the report states. The council also recommends a new provision on sexual intercourse without consent. – Sexual intercourse must always be voluntary. This is the reason why the Government in the Hurdal platform has announced that it will put forward a proposal for a consent act, says Minister of Justice and Emergency Preparedness Emilie Enger Mehl (Sp) in a press release. NTB also writes that the council will decriminalize sex purchases that are not covered by the law’s ban on sexual offences.
