What UK Sexual Offences Act 2003 Section 10 - Causing or Inciting a Child to Engage in Sexual Activity requires
A person aged 18 or over (A) commits an offence under Section 10 if he intentionally causes or incites another person (B) to engage in an activity, the activity is sexual, and either B is under 16 and A does not reasonably believe B is 16 or over, or B is under 13. Where the caused or incited activity involved penetrative conduct, the offence is indictable only with up to 14 years' imprisonment. Non-penetrative variants are triable either way: summary up to 6 months and/or statutory maximum fine; indictment up to 14 years. The offence does not require that the sexual activity actually take place.
