The operative word was ‘act’ & yes if they did, they would likely be breaking the law in the context discussed

I can’t agree. Most know what they mean by the word. Using age not biology  is far more practical both in general communication and legally. The alternative you’re suggesting isn’t. It isn’t even ‘proper’ or complete.

The suggestion paedophilia isn’t  ‘illegal’ is misleading. If anyone is an active paedophile then they will be breaking the law
