How would our courts view a situation whereby an Adult meets someone on an adult app such as Tinder, with the profile clearly stating the girl as being over 16, and the pictures on this profile showing a girl who is physically developed.
The conversation ensues as any normal chat, they find themselves happy with each other and decide to meet up.
The adult has sex with this girl.
This girl is in fact 15, lied to the guy, and the girls father finds the conversation on Tinder.
This is technically illegal, he is shagging a underage girl, but was under the illusion that she was over 16.
In the conversation in no way did it come apparent of her true age.
Verdict???
And I'm not saying this is what happened to AJ, I'm just wondering what your views and what the courts/police would proceed with.
