It's not illegal. Lol a very naive thinker. Although it may vary from state to state, it's not illegal as long as they are within a couples years of each other.

Almost every state has a different law for this.

In my state (Indiana) it's legal as long as they're within 2 years of you.

My boyfriend is now 18, and I'm still 16 (the age of consent in my state) so we're legal. It seems silly for it to become a problem when one person turns 18, especially if the couple has been dating for a while.

In my state it is illegal and is punished with 1 year in prison.

What shouldn't be illegal? Murder? Shoplifting? Sex in public? Marriage? I have no idea what you're referring to.

An 18 year old continuing to date a 17 year old. Its just not fair to be only a year away from each other and have it being illegal .

@GreatValue In which country is it illegal?!

A lot. Including the US. And then the 18 year old is considered a pedophile and can be sent to jail.

I'm almost positive that that's not illegal. Only having sex with them is. There is a legal age of consent (18), but I'm pretty sure that there's nothing against an 18 year old and a 17 year old dating.

@Dinosaurs I'm almost positive that that's not illegal. Only having sex with them is. There is a legal age of consent (18)...

The age of consent varies by state. In some states it is an age difference of two years. In some it's more. For PA, it is within four years of your partner until you're 18. Then it doesn't matter.

@acisseJ I'm pretty sure it's not illegal to have sex with them either

It is. You're still considered a minor at 17, which makes it statutory rape.

@Dinosaurs It is. You're still considered a minor at 17, which makes it statutory rape.

That's such bullshit.
Even if she said, "fuck me" to the guy and he willingly did, it would be rape? That's fucking stupid.

@Why is this downvoted? That's what statutory rape IS.

People are either dumb, ignorant, or underaged and not virgins.

It is by absolutely no means illegal in the US to DATE anybody. A 14 year old may date as many 50 year olds as they so choose as long as they don't have sex.

In California, the law is no younger than 16, no older than 21 with parental consent for the minor party as long as a sexual relationship isn't established. The law is different for almost every state though. Know your local legalities.

The dating isn't illegal.... The engaging in sexual acts part or the relationship is illegal.

It's not illegal, and neither is having sex with them. There's a 2 year age waver in most states, so you can be 17 and 19 or 16 and 18. And the age of consent in most states is only 16.

It depends on the state you're in. I know my state it's 4 years age difference, between the ages of 14 - 17. After 18, there is no age restriction, obviously.

I doubt anyone would ACTUALLY do something about it, seeings as you're so close in age? Would they?!

People dont report it but it sickens them out since he turned 18. Before everyone was fine, and now they just think hes a pedophile. Americas weird...

greatrandes avatar greatrande Yeah You Are +5Reply
@greatrande Yep :C

its not illegal aslong as your within 2 years of the person and the person is over the age of 14. once you turn 18 you can do whatever you want to anyone over the age of 18.
