Abstract

A GP friend of mine recently asked for some advice regarding a 13 year old girl who had come to her asking for post-coital contraception following intercourse with a 17 year old male she'd met at a party the previous night. My colleague deemed that the girl was competent to understand what she had done and the implications of any choices she made. The young girl was clear that the intercourse was consensual, but that she now regretted it and wanted nothing more to do with the young man. She did not want it to go any further, and would not give his name.
