Nope not true. If said 40 year old is "in a position of trust of authority, or responsible in a relationship of dependence" with the 14 year old then yes, they would get charged. Otherwise they wouldnt. Contrary to popular oppinion statutory rape is not a Canadian law, thanks to our over americanized society most Canadians think it is, but it isnt. The only other ways to get charged would be to have anal intercourse with the 14 year old, or pay the 14 year old to have sex.
