New laws proposed in Australia: consent is invalidated when a person has sex with someone but is mistaken about their identity, the nature of sexual activity, the purpose of the sexual activity, or because they've been fraudulently induced to participatehttps://m.centraltelegraph.com.au/news/new-laws-could-target-catfishing/3873019/ …

I welcome this. I don’t think people appreciate the psychological damage that things like this do to people. And that is the most damaging part in almost every crime. It ruins the future. You can’t make an informed consent if it’s based on lies
This is a really intuitive proposal for such necessary legislation. I really hope it’s taken up. Genuine consent is informed consent. You can have one without the other and the damage caused is irreversible.
