I would expect there to be a full criminal investigation into the case outlined by the Deputy. I hope that the young girl in question and her family are aware of all of the support services available in this country to help them. The sexual offences legislation is currently in Committee. The definition of "consent" is an issue which I have no doubt the committee will examine during the course of its discussions on that important legislation, which I hope will progress quickly through the committee so that the legislation can become law.
