Aberdeen charity’s age-of-consent lesson sparks criticism from Reform UK
A video from the Mamacita Foundation, an Aberdeen-based charity supporting asylum seekers, shows a lesson explaining Britain’s age of consent and warning attendees against sexual contact with under-16s. The footage has prompted criticism from Reform UK and MSP Mark Simpson, who described the guidance and the charity worker’s wording as deeply concerning.
The teacher initially appeared to misunderstand the law in England before stating that the age of consent is 16 in both England and Scotland; one participant reportedly suggested it could be 14. The charity said it received Simpson’s complaint but criticised him for publishing it before allowing time to respond, adding that volunteers had expressed fears for their safety.
