It is alarming how recently it was legal in all of Australia. 1880.

By 1920 it had changed in most states, but there are still situations in ACT where sex with a 10 y/o has a statutory defence (this case would not be one of them).

In the US, 7 was the legal age in Delaware in 1880.

If you look up sexual practices and marriages in the west in the dark ages, you'll find mahomet was actually centuries ahead of the west in insisting that sexual relations mustn't start until nine. The bad part is, his followers haven't moved with the times.
