If an adult is alleged to have sexually touched someone under the age of 16, they can be charged with sexual interference under s. 151 of the Criminal Code. Likewise, if an adult is accused of inviting a young person to sexually touch them, they can be charged with invitation to sexual touching under s. 152 of the Code.
