>>98847694It's a bit of a legal grey area, though, because while a state's age of consent may be younger than 18, they ARE still considered a minor, and there are a number of OTHER laws that a prosecutor could use to support their case. If they can make a jury think that someone used any sort of coercion or possessed any sort of perceived authority (even just the authority of "being an adult") they can still get royally fucked over. If nothing else, the parents can get a restraining order even if it's against the wishes of the wishes of their child. Some states also have provisions in their age of consent that define it as only applying if the partner is within an age range (that is, a 14 year old could bang a 16 year old but not a 35 year old.)
It's a complicated thing and not a "fuck teenagers for free" law. You're still much safer sticking with chicks who can vote.
