The 1885 law on sexual consent meant, to cite the 1908 Royal Commissioners on the Care and Control of the Feeble-Minded, that ‘[t]he power of consenting to unlawful defilement … has been taken from girls under sixteen ’. This wording is significant: the right to consent was ‘taken away’ from girls under the age of consent, rather than given to those above it.
