Tasmanians are backwards anyway. According to the article, NSW doesn't give any leeway.
It is an offence in
New South Wales to engage in sexual intercourse with a person
under the age of 16 (
Crimes Act 1900, s66C) or attempt such an offence (
s66d). Further it is an offence to engage in sexual intercourse with a person
under the age of 18 if that person is under the care of the offender (
s73) (guardian, teacher etc).
So, that's pretty tough. Would a 50 year old who commits a lewd act with a minor be charged the same as a 16 year old who commits lewd acts with a minor?
