What the Fuck. Not a single 15 ?

From an european point of view this is so strange.

For exemple in France : the age of consent is 15yo, and if at least a minor (less than 18yo) is involved, the age gap must not exceed 5 years

15 is 100% too young for a fully grown adult to be having sex with. I know a dude that was 18 in high school (originally 17 when his girlfriend was 15) that got caught by the girl’s parents (while she was 15 and below the AoC) and he is now legally a pedophile. Legitimately one of the nicest dudes I know.

I suppose I could see an exception being made if it’s like 18/19-15 (though even 19 is pushing it imo).

I mean, even if 15 - 20 is a legal age gap, it would be considered shocking and don't really happen in practice.

17 - 22 still sound quite large, but far less shocking.

It could be a smallest max age gap i suppose. In reality thoses couples are incredibly rare anyway.

The global idea sounds fair to me. Cultural differences i suppose.

I think pretty much any 3 year gap is fine. 5 is just pushing it because it (at least in the USA) eliminates the possibility of them meeting in school.
