Is it allowed/does society and laws allow for example a 17 year old to have sex with for example a 22 year old? (In America)

Question

Really wanna know what you guys think.
Nothing is forced everything just fine and normal. But as long as I know you're not allowed to have sex with a person who's older then 21 when you're a minor.

Answer

It really depends on the state. You should try looking up that states laws because each one is different.

Answer

I'm 18 and my bf is 22 but we started when I was 17. I luv him

Answer

Most places in the US age of consent is 16 and a 4 year difference is allowed so 16 would be up to 20, 17 (21).

Well if the parents complain then yeah it's illegal. I'm in California.

In the uk the age is 16 so I think after that it might be okay not too sure though never looked into it much

In Canada after 16 it's a 5 years gap and then it's not legal, 16 is the legal age of concent here

Answer

My guy friend had just turned 18 and was sleeping with/dating a 15 year old. The day he turned 18 her parents pressed charges. He's been on the sex offenders registry since we were juniors in high school. It ruined his life.

Answer

Don't you have different laws in each state?

Answer

Where i am its illegal and he could get charged with a buttload of things.. What state are you in?

Answer

It depends what state you are in but age of consent is usually 16. As a mother, I wouldn't be happy about my teen dating a grown man.
