British Sexual Offences Act 2003

The Sexual Offences Act 2003 is a law in the UK that sets out crimes related to sexual behavior, defining offenses such as sexual assault, rape, and exploitation, and establishing clear legal standards. It also provides protections for victims, sets age restrictions (like the age of consent at 16), and prescribes penalties for offenders. The law aims to ensure that sexual conduct is consensual and appropriate, while providing a legal framework to prosecute those who commit sexual offenses to protect individuals and uphold public safety.
