Question... -
July 8th 2011, 07:07 AM
Is having sex with an 18 yr. old and being 17 considered statutory rape?
Whenever things go wrong, I ask why this had to happen to me....
Is life ever truly worth living without a meaning? Love's not a fight, but it's something worth fighting for. |

Well here I think it's 18 but I don't remember.

Actually in the Untied States it depends on the state. In Florida technically the legal age is 18 but the statute also allows anyone as young as 16 to give consent with a partner as old as 23.
However I am concerned, based on the subject matter of the thread and its location I have the impression here that something happened to you. Do you wish to talk about it? |

The age of consent where you live is probably 16 since it seems like that's the age for most places. I can't really tell you for sure until you tell us which country you live in specifically...

In answer to your question, have you checked the sticky on ages of consent? ----> http://www.teenhelp.org/forums/f6-se...n-age-consent/ As you'll see, it totally depends on where you live.

It depends on the state you live in. Your state age of consent is 16. But if in a state the legal age is 18, then yes, it is technically statutory rape. But usually people don't press charges because it's so common. My boyfriend & I got caught in his car once while he was 18 & I was 17 (I live in California, so the age of consent is 18), but the cop let us go because he "used to do shit like that all the time". Haha. Just be careful.
