Impossible. There is no accurate way to determine age by external appearance. For example a 15 year could look older than an 18 year old.

That doesn't stop law makers from trying. Like the mess over small-breasted porn being banned in Australia in 2010:

> While the ACB claims that there is no blanket ban on small breasts as such, women over the age of 18 with small breasts who might look young ARE banned.

Yeah but Australia doesn't really have protected speech per se. Different legal system.

Australia doesn't technically have "freedom of speech" as America or other countries may have.

If it's being generated no characters actually have an age.

Any that are plausibly adults would presumably be legally in the clear.
