An 80-year-old man has been jailed for at least two years by the District Court in Adelaide for having a sexual relationship with an under-age girl.
Harold Laurance Nitschke was 77 when he began a relationship with the 16-year-old, believing 16 was the age of consent.
But District Court Judge Terry Worthington said Nitschke took advantage of the teenager for his own sexual gratification.
He jailed Nitschke for three years and 10 months, with a two-year non-parole period.
Legal age consent Australia seems to be 18
Re: Legal age consent Australia seems to be 18
Age of consent is 17 for boys in South Australia. It varies from state to state. They are supposed to be 18 to have profiles on the websites and often the police masquerade as someone underage to try and catch anyone looking for younger than 17.
