My advice to someone who wants to age-play? Go to Fetlife and hook up with people with adult bodies who play as, or play with, people with adult bodies pretending to be children.
Age-play in OS, as, or with a child AV, is illegal in many countries. Any depiction of even fictional minors who are engaged in sexual activities is illegal in the U.K., Australia, Canada, France, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Russia, South Africa, and Switzerland. Someone in those countries can try to use the argument about RL age-play (done by adults in adult bodies Cheryl). The courts won't care.
Someone age-playing in OS with an underage looking AV is safe from the law if they aren't in those countries. However, the legality of fictional child pornography in several countries, including the U.S., is a grey area. Someone in those grey area countries can take their chances I suppose.
But if anyone, from countries where virtual age-play is illegal, views age-play in OS, then the age-players, from anywhere, could be found guilty of creating and distributing child pornography. No big deal, right? However, you might not want to ever to visit those places...
This is why SL bans age-play. This is why people who operate grids, and why people who age-play in with non-adult AVs need to be concerned.
