This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Petition To include adult grooming in the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

Age is arbitrary and anyone can be groomed.

This could mean an elderly person, someone with a mental health condition or just someone who has their guard down.

Let's change the legislation to help these victims and stop these heinous acts from continuing.

More details

'Grooming can be defined as the process that an abuser uses to desensitise someone – to make them less like to reject or report abusive behaviour.'
