Crime and Policing BillContribution
A very small cohort of offences is covered here, because any offences where there was no consent or where the child was younger than 13 will be caught by all the other offences which have no limitation period to them. It is just that small cohort, aged 13 to 15, where they cannot prove lack of consent.
