Hong Kong considers lowering sex offender age limit to 10 after rape



 Prosecutors in Hong Kong are considering a lower age limit for sex offenders after a 13-year-old boy who raped a young girl in a hospital last year was unable to be charged with rape, news reports said on Friday.
The disturbing assault took place in September last year at the Pamela Youde Eastern Hospital when the 13-year-old Korean boy pulled down a 5-year-old girl’s pants and raped her. Both children were patients in the children’s ward of the hospital.

Poland to educate Euro 2012 fans on safe sex


Polish health officials say they will distribute free condoms to hundreds of thousands of fans attending Euro 2012 as part of a safe sex campaign.
Officials say the "Fair Play" campaign advocating the use of condoms will be held in all four Euro 2012 cities in the country.
Deputy Health Minister Aleksander Soplinski said Tuesday that some 150,000 free kits of condoms and leaflets will be distributed in fan zones to alert them to the health hazards of casual sex, such as AIDS and other diseases.
