It is beginning to be blurred here.
In (1), it goes with someone 10-14 has sex with another person who's 10-14 is liable to imprisonment for 16 years.
But it doesn't who is going to imprison. What? Both is guilty? And the case is extremely similar with (3).
For (2) and (3), it claims if one rapes another, the attacker would be liable to imprisonment for 20 and 16 years respectively, meaning the attacker in the younger pair would suffer greater penalty, but ironically, I know that a child under 10 years of age cannot be charged with any offence within Australia.
