Famous Israeli singer Eyal Golan involved in a sex
scandal. The 17 year-old girl (or at least one of them) says she is still
in love with him.
What’s the age of consent in Israel?
Here it is in a
nutshell, from Wikipedia: "According to the Israeli Penal Code of 1977 the age
of consent in Israel is 16 for any form of sexual relations involving
penetration. A special case arises when a person aged 14 or 15 had sexual
relations with an older partner; in this case the older partner would be exempt
of criminal liability if three conditions are met: the age difference between
the partners was less than three years, the younger partner gave consent and
the act was done out of ‘regular friendly relations’ and without the abuse of
power."

Develop contraceptive pill for after-sex use; biggest
hurdles are political, not scientific or medical. (Science
Daily.)
“A contraceptive pill that could be routinely used
after, rather than before, sex and fertilization is probably scientifically
feasible and would probably be welcomed by many women, say researchers in the Journal
of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care.”

Females 13 to 19 years old the most vulnerable to
HIV infection in Jamaica. Sexual abuse against women boosting HIV prevalence. (Jamaica
Gleaner.)
“Jamaica Aids Support for Life (JASL) has said
physical and sexual violence against women remains a significant contributor to
the prevalence of HIV in Jamaica. In a release to mark International Day for the
Elimination of Violence Against Women which is being observed today, JASL said
females 13 to 19 years old remained the most vulnerable to infection. The organization said, however, that approximately
40,000 Jamaicans are living with HIV/AIDS, or 1.5 per cent of the population, a
significant reduction since the disease emerged in the 1980s. JASL said inequality in sexual relationships
continues to affect females' ability to negotiate condom use. And, they say the
situation is still being compounded by the culture of multiple partners among
males.”
