Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostUmm, isn't this ' position of trust' age distinction a bit vague and contrived? Is an 18 year old school prefect a person in a position of trust?
My understanding is 18 -> 17 year old with unpaid / unregulated power it would be seen as a non offence from that point of view and it would concentrate on coercion which doesn't have an age restriction.
So if a teacher or a teaching assistant aged 25 has sex with their pupil then its the abuse of trust.
If they meet and had consensual sex with a 17 year old who is not their student or they have power over in a pub then its just sex and legal.
If a Prefect says to a 17 year old ' have sex with me or I will report you' its coercion which makes it rape.

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostThe division of assets is nothing to do with fault. Usually 50/50 if no kids - but can vary if a short marriage(under 7 years) and one party has bought loads more assets into the marriage. All assets earned during marriage are assumed shared.
