Raise the Age of Consent.

Raise the Age of Consent. — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Either raise the age of consent or change the laws so that adults are not able to legally sleep with minors.

Additional details

16 is far too young to consent to sex with people 19-20+. It’s wrong and disgusting that adults are getting away with sleeping with children.
