Looks like it's not clear to non-lawyer eyes from the legal texts. For sure the age 16 seems to be a threshold, whether talking about
unlawful sex with under 16 year olds, or
causing or encouraging prostitution of, intercourse with, or indecent assault on, girl or boy under 16.
Did not see anything explicit said in case you are a customer of a prostitute.
The
Crimes Ordinance section 117 lays out the sexual and related offences, but no prostitution ages mentioned.
There in section 117 seems to be the root of 141:
(3) Premises, vessel or any place shall not be treated as a vice establishment
for the purposes of this Part unless-
(a) the premises, vessel or place are or is used wholly or mainly by 2 or
more persons for the purposes of prostitution; or (Amended 90 of 1991
s. 2)
