adoption of the Plan of Action of the Federal Government for the Protection
of Children and Young People from Sexual Violence and Exploitation (January
2003), but remains concerned at the various ages retained in the Criminal
Code depending on the offence committed by an adult against a child. Heavy petting could leave teen couples at the mercy of
child prostitution law Roger Boyes, The Times, www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article3037079.ece [accessed 16 May 2011] The new law reduces the minimum
age at which sexual offenders can be prosecuted from 18 to 14, and raises the
maximum age at which a victim is entitled to legal protection from 16 to 18.
The idea is to stop the recruitment of minors as prostitutes by other minors
— pimps in big cities are often 17 or younger — but the initiative is a legal
minefield. Five Years After ECPAT: Fifth Report on

Prostitution’ report is the result of years of systematic observations,
discussions and interviews. The author has an in-depth insight into the
prostitution and drug scene along the German-Czech border through her work
with the social project KARO. Her report gives, for the first time, a
detailed picture of the commercial sexual exploitation of children in this
region, heavily frequented by German tourists. It shows the scale of the
business and the conditions in which its victims live. The conclusions are
harrowing: In the German-Czech border region, a flourishing commerce in child
sexual exploitation has developed. Written Statement Submitted By
