I hadn't previously checked what the penalty was, but:

(3) A person shall be liable on summary conviction of an offence under this section to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 6 months or to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale or to both.


Level 5 on the standard scale is currently £5,000. And the part about summary conviction means there'll be no jury.

In case you were wondering, it's not legal for two 15-year-olds so have sex either. So at least we're consistent, if dogmatic.
Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt.

—Nous disons en allemand : le guerre, le mort, le lune, alors que 'soleil' et 'amour' sont du sexe féminin : la soleil, la amour. La vie est neutre.

—La vie ? Neutre ? C'est très joli, et surtout très logique.
Section 52A in full.
