No age of consent is 16 for everyone (as long as not in position of authority). The age of consent is 14 if the couple are within 5 years of each other (i.e. a 19 year old and 14 year old are legally allowed to consent with one another).
This is a relatively new age of consent, up until recently (2008) the age of consent was 14.
