South Korea has raised the age of consent for sex to 16 from 13 as it seeks to strengthen protection for minors following accusations the existing law on sex crimes was too weak.

Under the revised law, adults who have sex with under-16-year-olds will be prosecuted for child sexual abuse or rape regardless of any alleged consent.

In 2017, a 42-year-old man was found not guilty of raping a then 15-year-old on the grounds she had consented, provoking outrage and calls for the age limit to be raised.

That move may keep a lot of politicians from visiting....

And that's a very good thing! Age of consent: 18 even better than 16

What the hell....should be at least 21

Why did they first drop the bar so low? Perverts that preys on young once.

I guess JT won’t be going there anymore

Shit it was at 13 🤔 it should be 18

That’s disgusting 🤢🤢🤢

13 is way too young to have sex. It's a good thing I like the older women. My favourite age for women is 35-50. Grass on the field is a must!
