The definition of rape was broadened to "non-consensual sexual intercourse" from "forcible sexual intercourse", aligning Japanese law's definition with other countries.
The legal age of consent, previously at only 13, has been raised to 16 years.
13 😱
Not actually 13, that was only allowable if the other party is 17 or under.
from the article:
Previously, Japan had one of the lowest age of consent among developed nations. However, a person who has had sex with a minor aged 13 to 15 will be punished only if the person is five or more years older than the minor.
I get it but I mean an 18 years old dating a 13 years old also feels icky to me
Because one is considered an adult and the other is very much still a child. It's icky as can be.
