[QUOTE="ddd, post: 2204730, member: 2154"] [b][/b] YEP. Maybe that's why they ask for ID at clubs and pubs etc? Or are you arguing underage drinking is OK? And we know there is absolutely NO problem out there with teenage drinking don't we. And ... ummm - there a lot of people out there of any age with any number of “conditions†which legally, ethically and/or morally compromise their capacity to make an informed consent. Like someone with a mental illness - including Eating Disorders say as 1 example. And once again, you misinterpret me. I am NOT saying the man in this scenario does anything other than focus on HIS responsibility to make the right decision. How YOU want to define “right†is ... Dare I say it - YOUR choice. It would be an interesting court case if say, Clare was only 15 And lied. Even more interesting if she was your daughter.[/quote] So, a Legal Question has been asked - my university education comes to the fore! In the case that it went to court with clare being only 15, there are a couple of variables to be considered. If clare had a fake ID and matty checked that ID, when charged with the offense of having sex with a person under the age of 16, he would be able to invoke the defense of mistake of fact. This, if made out, which is likely, matt would only be liable for the situation he believed was the case (that she was of legal age and had capacity to consent). As such, he would have no case to answer. The situation is different if she states her age. In that case it depends on what she says, how she looks (whether she looks 19 - yes this is subjective) and whether it was reasonable to take her at her word (a question for a jury). Of course these issues don't mean a thing if she is your daughter, particularly if you have a raised a 15 year old who has it off with the better part of a footy team. Any other lawyers out there - don't kill me if I'm wrong - this is what my Crim B notes had in them and the first thing that came to mind! [/QUOTE]
