what is the age of consent in malta
Ages of consent in Europe The age of consent in Malta is 16.[71] Sexual activity - typically by people over 16 - with people between 12 and 16 can be considered defilement of minors by lewd acts or corruption of a minor, which, at the discretion of prosecutors and the courts, depending on the circumstances, may result in a conviction.
Age of consent reform In South Carolina in 2007 a bill was proposed before the legislature to raise the age of consent from 16 to 18.[36] It did not succeed.
