    That’s not how the law works though. You can drink whatever alcohol you can legally buy the second you turn 18 (in the UK). The same applies for sex at 16. Maybe you don’t like it, but 16 is the age of consent for sex, with whoever else is legal.

      He’s abusing the law, it’s obviously not designed for a 30 plus year old to have a relationship with a 16 year old.
