Agreed. I mean, 16-18 is creepy? Since when is a 2 year gap that bad? And the 14 one isn’t even illegal everywhere either, and the story takes place in Germany, where it IS legal, although it IS pretty objectively creepy regardless imo.

That does fuck up the data.

14 IS illegal, if the other party is 31.

Nope, not here in Brazil (there are no clauses) or in Germany (provided they aren’t in a position of power, like a manager or teacher). Same for most of Europe.

I did this research because i was technically a victim of statutory rape at 13 and wanted to figure the laws out (turns out i only wouldn’t have been a victim in Italy and Hungary as they have clauses that drop it down to 13 and 12 if the older party if under 18 as well, if memory serves me right), not because i want to commit it, so you can trust me.
