can he get in trouble for it?

Question

I'm 16, my boyfriend is 17, we've been having sex for almost two years now, but once he turns 18 (in less than a month) can he get in trouble with the law if we've been having sex since before he was 18? My parents are aware that we're having sex, and they said that as long as its legal they'll still allow us to once he's 18. Help?!

.

UPDATE: I realize the age of consent is 16, but I'm more worried about the fact that he'll be an adult and I'll still be a minor for another year, will he get in trouble for that?

Answer

Yaw still gonna do it tho 😂

Answer

Depends on your state. For example NC you can be 4 years older and that Is okay

Answer

Completely depends on where you live. If the age of consent in your state is 16, you're fine. And in some states, as long as the relationship existed before he turned 18, it will still be okay once he IS 18.

Answer

I mean... If you're both under the age of consent, I'm pretty sure you two could still get in trouble since neither of you are of legal age to do that stuff. But yes, he could get in trouble if the set age is 18 where you are since you're not 18 as well

Answer

Depends on your state in Texas the age of consent is 17 so Google that. But if your parents are cool with it then just stop worrying and everything would be fine. Just be safe

Answer

Truthfully even if he's 18 and your 16 you wont get in trouble unless your parents decide to press charges on him. Without that no one will know except you guys

Answer

Look up on the internet what the age of consent is for your state. Most states are 16 years old is the age of consent so you should be ok but make sure because some states are 17 years of age.

Answer

It depends on where you live as the legal age of consent is different in different areas. Where I live the age of consent is 17 so here in Texas you wouldn't be legal age but it may be different where you live.

Answer

It should be. 16 is typically the age of consent.

Answer

There is the romeo and Juliet law which protects you guys. It is legal because you have a relationship before he's 18
