'It is a criminal offence for a person to engage in sexual activity with someone under 13 regardless of the circumstances, and to engage in sexual activity with someone aged 13 to 16 unless certain narrow defences apply. '
'Someone from the Ministry of Justice must step in to amend the rules on consent.”A CICA spokesperson said: “Child sexual abuse is abhorrent. '
' We are actively engaging victim support groups and relevant charities to make sure the revised guidance is as robust as it possibly can be.”'
'It is illegal to have sexual activity with anyone under 16 but the CICA does not automatically make payments to all victims. '
