The House committees on welfare of children and revision of laws approved on Thursday, August 27, a bill seeking to raise the age of sexual consent to 16 and provide stronger protections against sexual abuse of children.The Anti-Rape Law, which pegs the age of statutory rape at 12 years old, was signed in 1997. The law holds that an adult could have sexual relations with a 12-year-old and claim it was consensual.
“Prosecution can only go as far to eradicate the crime – but ensuring that children grow up to their fullest potential requires utmost attention and affirmative action on our part,” she added. Based on the bill, consensual, non-abusive, and non-exploitative sexual activity with a minor below 16 years old will not be considered statutory rape in the following conditions:Where the sexual activity involves a minor below 14, the age difference does not exceed 3 years
