    Hong Kong proposes sweeping overhaul of sex crime laws

    Hong Kong authorities propose overhauling sexual offences laws by criminalizing same-sex rape, introducing new offences, setting a uniform age of consent at 16, removing gender-specific provisions, and increasing penalties. The Security Bureau submitted a 59-page consultation paper to the Legislative Council to strengthen protections for minors and mentally incapacitated individuals.
