(Edited to add: this is also the case in e.g. several US states).The author making her so young still don't sit well with me, better if she was at least 16yo...
Yeah, in the US they are called Romeo and Juliet laws. And most people fail to realize that in about 60% of US states, the age of consent has always been 16, but because California is in the extreme minority where it is 18 but they make all the media, people have had that jammed into their head as the AoC.It was only last year that japan raised the Age of Consent to 16, from 13.

AoC varies a lot across the world.
