Q: How young can a child be listed as a sexual offender? At what age can they be charged with sexual assault?
A 7 year old boy sexually assaulting his siblings. Dry hubbing his sister, putting his penis in his brothers face, masturbating in front of others. Can the mom "charge" him with assault at 7?
No. A 7-year-old is too young to be held criminally responsible, but to young to be taught proper behaviour and/or examined by a doctor. There are other issues at play there. The best thing that can happen is the child is assessed. Fortunately, these behaviours when caught at a young age can be... Read more »

Q: Is it illegal for an adult to discuss sexual topics with a minor. (Not about doing things. Just the topic its self)
Like say an adult were to discuss a kink for example with a 17 year old. Just a simple topic or discussion. There is no hint of actually wanting to preform such acts one said 17 year old.
IMO you should forget trying to find out if you can "discuss sexual topics with a minor." Why? Because you are treading into a very dangerous area where most intelligent adults on this side of prison bars do not intentionally go.
