Defendant Knew Sexual Acts with Sister as Teen 'Seriously Wrong', Court Told A recent court case in Hong Kong's High Court has brought to light a disturbing pattern of behavior involving a 24 year old man who allegedly engaged in sexual acts with his younger sister between 2013 and 2016, when he was aged between 11 and 14.
The prosecution argues that the older sibling knew his behavior was "seriously wrong," yet continued to act on it. This raises questions about consent and agency in childhood.
Children cannot be expected to understand the nuances of consent, especially when their actions are influenced by power dynamics within the family.
