What the petition asks
To make it an illegal offence for a person to lie about their age to engage in sexual activities, many people have been charged with rape because people have lied about their age and have essentially ruined someone's life, it is unjust.
This is only something the Parliament can handle, I understand though this subject is a complicated one.
