answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2019 answer text <p>Any sexual activity with a child under 16 is a criminal offence, regardless of whether consent is given. Any non-consensual sexual activity is also a crime, whatever the age of the victim and whatever the relationship between the victim and perpetrator.</p><p>Where a manipulative offender grooms a child prior to them reaching the age of consent and then engages in a sexual relationship with them when they are over 16, this could be prosecuted under offences such as Section 15A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003.</p><p>We remain absolutely committed to protecting children and young people from sexual abuse and we already have a wide range of criminal offences under which to prosecute and sentence those who carry out such acts. We continue to keep this under review.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 28/01/2019 17:59:45 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2019 answer text <p>The Foreign Secretary and I made clear earlier this month that we are deeply concerned about the recent reports of a renewed wave of persecution of LGBT+ people in Chechnya. Persecution for being LGBT+, in any country in the world, is abhorrent.</p><p>Following these renewed reports of persecution, the UK Government has worked closely with international partners to communicate to Russia that persecution of LGBT+ people in Chechnya is completely unacceptable. This includes joint statements from the EU Spokesperson, from the EU to the OSCE (the latter of which Russia is a member of) and the Equal Rights Coalition. We have focused on calling out Russia’s lack of a credible investigation, and impunity for the perpetrators of this persecution. We are now working to sustain this strong and united international response.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 29/01/2019 15:22:42 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
