The age of consent is 16. It is absolute; u dont need to ask 'what if' questions. Whether it is ethical or not, well thats not really in debate. It is just as legal for a consenting 16 year old to sleep with her 18 year old boyfriend as it is for a consenting 16 to sleep with a 65 year old rock spider. As scary as that is (and assuming he doesnt owe her a duty of care through guardianship/teacher/tutor etc) that is what the law allows.
