What UK Sexual Offences Act 2003 Section 14 - Arranging or Facilitating Commission of a Child Sex Offence requires
A person commits an offence under Section 14 if he intentionally arranges or facilitates something that he intends to do, intends another person to do, or believes that another person will do, in any part of the world, and doing it will involve the commission of an offence under any of Sections 5-13 SOA 2003. A narrow protective defence applies where the defendant believed (but did not intend) another would commit the act and acted to protect the child from STI, physical harm, pregnancy, or to promote emotional well-being by advice. The penalty matches that of the underlying Section 5-13 offence that would have been committed.
