Age of consent is 13 years old. The confusion comes mostly from some people who didn't understand the new laws they introduced a few years ago. They mistakenly believed that it raised the age of consent to 18, but what it actually did was add certain strengths to laws against minors where a crime already exists. It also introduced a law regarding people in positions of authority. That is people like coaches, teachers, and anyone who could use their authority over a minor to cause them to have sex with them. The key provision of the new law is that it mentions something like "Where a crime has been committed" it also adds increased sentences for those who commit a crime against a minor, but simply having sex with one isn't a crime.
