I've never heard of such a thing. Have you? I agree with you that this law has to change, but the way you talk it's like you think there is some free-for-all going on out there and middle-aged men are flagrantly carrying on with teenage girls and nothing can be or is done about it and all the while it was tacitly endorsed by the Liberal Scumbag Evil Party.

It happens every day in canada that 30, 40 and even 50 year old people are in sexual relationships with these teenagers. The age of consent law that you are talking about for 14 and 15 year olds has YET to be passed. Right now consent can be given at 14.
Age is not the sole determination if someone will be charged with exploitation. There has to be other mitigating factors to be charged under this section.
It also eliminates the need to have these children testify in court and have them prove that they were not the sexual aggressor and whether or not they consented or not. That alone should be enough.
