Sorry to go OT here, but the entry for Italy on that page made me
wonder;
"The age of consent if one of the participants has some kind of
influence on the other is 16 (e.g. teacher, tutor, biological or
adoptive parent)."
Surely this implies incest is legal if the participants are over 16!
Surely this cannot be right, can anyone clarify?
