You want to end up on the sex offenders register - then fill your boots. Given all the stuff about Rolf Harris and Jimmy Saville - I cannot see why anyone would even contemplate it.

Then think if you become well known - there is a queue of lawyers willing to jump on the mercenary bandwagon to take you to court...

I've already stated that I'm not having sex with anyone anytime soon, it's just a question I was wondering based on the very tiny time frame. I don't really think anyone would be imprisoned based on the fact it was only one day day, it's not like after 24 hours the person magically is able to say yes when they could of said yes a day before.

A 15 year 364 day old male is pretty much 16...

Yeah....
And someone with 59.9% degree mark pretty much has a 2.i. But hasn't.

One day isn't really going to make a difference.

Tell that to the judge *yawn*

I'm not having sex with anyone, I'm just wondering if a person would get a in trouble. I.e if someone had sex with someone who was 15 years, 364 days old and they eventually got married would the person go to prison?

In the eyes of the law, yes.

I'm sure if the other party were to consent it wouldn't be

It's not a troll question, it's a question that came to my head today.

Technically yes, but why not wait! Unlikely to be prosecuted as not in the public interest !?

If the people did do it it's not like it could be proved anything happened.

Is it illegal to have sex with someone who is one day before their 16th birthday?

Are they under 16? Yes. Therefore it's illegal. Doesn't take a genuis to work that out

Conviction would be highly unlikely.

I think it's unlikely that anything would happen.

1. It's still illegal

2. If there was proof, she was under 16 at the time, then you should be convicted

But they most probably have, since the majority of institutions would round the 59.9% to 60% and give the 2:1.

It's a hypothetical question, but I think it happens quite a lot with people not waiting, then again it is only one day, it doesn't really matter to be honest.

If you are half a percent away from 60% my univeristy will award you a 2:1.

Well of course there is the caveat that you posted above, but other than that yes. And given the OP mentioned someone a day before their 16th birthday it sounds like the hypothetical defendant knows exactly how old the victim is, so it'd be a non-starter.
