The Age of Sexual Consent is Spain is 13, one of the lowest in the world.
It is not even a crime to maintain relations if a youngster gives his or her consent and is younger than 13.
The United Nations has suggested Spain lift the age to 15 and the Non-Governmental organisations are asking the Government to take advantage of the reform of the new Penal Code.
Recently in the Albacete village El Salobral, a 41 year man was seeing a 13 year old girl. The relationship ended with him shooting her dead.
Another person was also shot in the tragedy and this has brought back to light the age of sexual consent.
When Mariano Rajoy came into Government a year ago, 'Save the Children' sent him a list of ten priorities for the infant agenda and among them the age of sexual consent.
A 13 year old a girl can be biological mature, but emotionally she is not. She is still a child.
