The UK authorities may consider introducing a "graded" age of consent law.
As the "Guardian" reports, one of the victims in the case of the comedian Russell Brand, Mia Latter, took the initiative. The proposed amendments would prohibit adults over a certain age from having sex with 16 and 17 year olds.
British Deputy Prime Minister Louise Hague confirmed the possibility of consideration of the initiative by Parliament.
"We need to listen to Mia and other victims like her who have had similar experiences because it is very important that as lawmakers we take their experiences into account when we make decisions," Hague told The Sunday Times.
Earlier, a London court sentenced Russell Brand to 10.5 years in prison for rape and sexual assault.
