I didn't know that. I like that. Is there a link to the law and how it's applied?

This. It's a public policy concern. The wife and I visited Thailand in the past year and it was obvious that there were tons of German and English men looking for a young kids to sleep with. It was unsettling.


In regards to the US, I'm very pro-states individual rights to make laws, but (very much like the drinking age), I believe we should have a uniform age of consent.
