Because you can't make the decision
to have sex until you are 13. You cannot give consent below the age of 13- it's technically rape. Sex between the ages of 13-16 with someone over 18 are still a criminal offence as well I believe.

Doli incapax has to do with the mental capacity to commit a crime.

Oh man the law is an ass
Why does a ten year old get the responsibility to commit one crime with me but not another?
I'm with Enzyme, the law is bollocks.
Can I fuck this kid or not and do I have more of a right to if it's my sister?

The reason for doli incapax
is it allows children over the age of 10 to be charged with crimes that they have committed themselves. However a 10 year old having sex with a thirty year old is not a crime *on the 10 year olds part* they are the object and victim of a crime, therefore their age and capacity to recognise evil is irrelevant

I love the way you ended it "provided they are well fit"

It amused me
because I've never said well fit in my life.

I can imagine the sentence in your normal voice
with an Ali G style "well fit" on the end.
