Even although you both agree, what the law states will state that the one who has ended the chronilogical age of permission is breaking regulations for having a relationship that is sexual some body under 17.

You will find a entire large amount of facets which effect whether police opt to charge or prosecute somebody for making love with some body beneath the chronilogical age of permission. It is as much as the authorities to choose what you should do, perhaps not other people. If it looks like there may be a power imbalance, or things look more complex, they might still follow through with this while it is less likely that police will charge two people who are, for example, both 16 and agree to have sex.
