What is the age of consent in Australia? Josh Giddey's alleged incident with a minor sparks outrage online

A leaked video of Josh Giddey allegedly with a minor has sparked outrage on social media. The Oklahoma City Thunder guard was allegedly seen interacting with an alleged high school junior in a clip that's surfaced on social media. The Australian star was slammed by fans on Twitter, and calls to get him off the NBA continue to grow louder.

While there is no official word from the player, the franchise, or the league, the incident may be investigated down the line. It is worth noting that the legal age for consensual sex varies between 16 and 17 years across Australian state and territory jurisdictions.

As for the rules in Oklahoma, the legal age of consent in the state is 16 years. This makes it illegal for a minor who is 15 years of age or younger to have consensual sex with an adult who is at least 18 years old. Giddey, at the time of writing, is 21. It is not known how old the girl in the video is, although the account that posted it alleged that she's a minor.

The girl's profile on Instagram is private.

NBA fans stunned at allegations against Josh Giddey

NBA fans were quick to express their disappointment and anger at Josh Giddey after the video surfaced. The clip and the tweet have since been deleted, but a screenshot of the tweet has been doing the rounds on Reddit.

If the allegations are proven, Giddey could face serious ramifications.

The guard has been prolific in his third year, averaging 12.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists. In his last three seasons with OKC, he has propped up 14.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 6.1 assists as the team's lead point guard.

The Thunder are second in the West with an 11-4 record and most recently registered a 116-102 win over the Chicago Bulls at home on Wednesday. Giddey, who played 29 minutes, had 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists.

Josh Giddey and the Thunder play the Philadelphia 76ers next, followed by an In-Season Tournament matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
