| Well, something as small as a difference in the age of consent could greatly alter the number of sex crimes. Also whether they prosecute for 18 year olds with 16 year olds.
I didn't mean any place in Western Europe would be lenient on anything the majority of the world considers a sex crime. But here the list of what is considered a sex crime seems to keep growing.
Recently, a prosecutor tried to charge a 12 and 13 year old for consensual sex, but the judge ruled on the female that she could not be both a perp and a victim. The boy had pled out so he has a sex charge on his record now, and those aren't sealed for juveniles.
We have a 17 year old that received oral sex from a 15 year old. He is in for ten years. Under GA statutes, intercourse would have been less of a penalty.
