I have found to my surprise a little, that Europe can be different to the UK

At present, the age of consent in the UK is 16,and theoretically anyone partaking under that age could be prosecuted.

Except Northern Ireland where it is 17.

In some countries, such as LOS, then there is the matter of the age of consent for commercial sex being higher (18) than the non-commercial limit (15) [PREVENTION AND SUPPRESSION OF PROSTITUTION ACT B.E. 2539 (1996)]

My usual source on these things (http://www.ageofconsent.com/) appears to be having difficulties. Here's a list from AVERT:
