The key age is 16.\n\n948.02 Sexual assault of a child.  \n\n(1) First degree sexual assault.  Whoever has sexual contact or sexual intercourse with a person who has not attained the age of 13 years is guilty of a Class B felony.\n \n(2) Second degree sexual assault.  Whoever has sexual contact or sexual intercourse with a person who has not attained the age of 16 years is guilty of a Class C felony.\n \n(3) Failure to act.  A person responsible for the welfare of a child who has not attained the age of 16 years is guilty of a Class F felony if that person has knowledge that another person intends to have, is having or has had sexual intercourse or sexual contact with the child, is physically and emotionally capable of taking action which will prevent the intercourse or contact from taking place or being repeated, fails to take that action and the failure to act exposes the child to an unreasonable risk that intercourse or contact may occur between the child and the other person or facilitates the intercourse or contact that does occur between the child and the other person.\n\n(4) Marriage not a bar to prosecution.  A defendant shall not be presumed to be incapable of violating this section because of marriage to the complainant.\n \n(5) Death of victim.

The statutory rape laws are different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.\n\nThere are some jurisdictions where the law is written so that the victim has to be below 18 AND more than two years younger than the perpetrator for it to be a crime.\n\nIn such a jurisdiction an 18-year-old having sex with a 17-year-old would not be illegal, but a 20-year-old having sex with the same 17-year-old would be illegal.\n\nNevertheless, my advise to an 18-year-old guy is: now's a good time to date older women.  The "slightly younger" girl can wait.

It depends on the state. Most do not allow people to get married who would fall under a statutory rape law. Others specifically define the offenses as intercourse with a minor who is not the spouse. In all states it is not illegal to have consensual sex with your spouse, regardless of age, as long as the marriage is valid.

I'm not really sure about Michigan law, but I am a former Criminal Investigator from a district attorney's office in New York and I can explain the prosecution and conviction process here and maybe it will relate.  There are different levels of rape (degrees) and the prsecution and conviction depend on this.  If you forcibly rape someone it carries a higher penalty then the the 18 yr. old boy who has sex with his 16 yr. old girlfriend.  Because 16 is not deemed old enough to consent even if she says "yes" it's still rape, but that's not as serious as forcable rape.  If the defendant has prior criminal history, especially in the same type of activities, it will bring a bigger punishment.  The prosecutor has to provide the evidence and prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did in fact commit this rape.  If there is no plea bargain and the case goes to trial and the defendant loses, he will get the maximum sentence allowed by law, basically for wasting the courts time.  A conviction means you have been found guilty of the crime either by a jury or by an admission.  It's a formal charge entered by the courts.  Being arrested and charged does not mean the same as a conviction.  You have to be found guilty in a court of law to have a conviction.  I hope this helps.  I'm sorry I can't give you minimum and maximum sentences in Michigan, I just don't know the answer to that.  Every state is different.

Sorry there really isn't much that can be done. In most states sex crimes with minors aren't based on consent. If she is a minor (and at 11 I'm pretty sure she is) it is assumed that she can not give consent to sex, it does not matter that she has sex all the time.\n\nThe only thing that needs to be proved is, was she a minor, did they have sex, and did he know she was a minor when they had sex (and in many states even if he did not know he is still considered guilty). Her consent is never an issue.\n\nHe needs a really good lawyer, maybe their is something to the fact that he is only 16, he should still be considered a minor himself. But I can not stress enough that her consent and her sexual history have zero relevance.

http://moraloutrage.net/staticpages/index.php?page=Georgia\n\nIt looks legal to me. \n\n16-6-3. \n(a) A person commits the offense of statutory rape when he or she engages in sexual intercourse with any person under the age of 16 years and not his or her spouse, provided that no conviction shall be had for this offense on the unsupported testimony of the victim. \n(b) Except as provided in subsection (c) of this Code section, a person convicted of the offense of statutory rape shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than 20 years; provided, however, that if the person so convicted is 21 years of age or older, such person shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than ten nor more than 20 years; Any person convicted under this subsection of the offense of statutory rape shall, in addition, be subject to the sentencing and punishment provisions of Code Section 17-10-6.2. (c) If the victim is at least 14 but less than 16 years of age and the person convicted of statutory rape is 18 years of age or younger and is no more than three years older than the victim, such person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.\n\nThis is the Georgia code.

I do understand the need for the "age of consent" laws, but I also think that they go too far at times.  I have heard of cases where an 18 year old male had consensual sex with his 16 year old girlfriend, and was charged with "statutory rape" even though neither the girl or her parents wanted him to be charged.  I have also heard of cases where a 16 year old girl dresses and puts on makeup to look 21, gets a fake ID, goes into a club, lies to a guy and says she is 21, has consensual sex with him, then he is charged with rape even though she admits she lied about her age.  Cases like that definitely should have variances in the law.

I really do not see the harm for either sex provided that both are in close age proximaty. If an 18 year old and a 16 year old want to screw I see no groups for statuatory rape at all. Why is it that 18 is the magic number for most things, and 21 is the magic number for other (drinking), and a judge can determine to prosecute someone as an adult at nearly any age ? I think that the drinking age needs to come down to 18, and if we are going to define 18 as an adult, then 18 is an adult WITH NO EXCEPTIONS.

No, she's still underage and even with her consent, it's still considered statutory rape. Just remember that 16 will get you 20 (years in jail).

That all depends on where it occured and exactly what occured. Some places have different crimes for "lewd acts" versus vaginal intercourse, and each state has different laws for all of the various statutory rape scenarios that are possible.\n\nEdit: For instance, California law requires a sentence of not more than one year for having someone more than 3 years older having sex with a minor.

It appears that in Wisconsin, expungements are limited to certain offenses for offenders under the age of 17 or 21, depending on the conviction.  If you carried out a sentence, and it was not dismissed, then it does not look like you can remove that from your record.  I've included a link to a brochure that summarizes Wisconsin law and gives contact information for their Department of Justice.  Contact them to verify that there are no alternative measures you can take.

17 is still considered a minor. She can "date" older men that is not illegal. Sexual contact would be illegal. However, you would be hard pressed to get a prosecutor to bring a case considering she is 17.

it really depends on the state they live in.  \nA common misconception about statutory rape is that there is a single age at which an individual can legally consent to sexual activity. In fact, only 12 states have a single age of consent; in these states, this age ranges from 16 to 18 years old. In the remaining states, the age of consent depends on one or more of the following factors: age differences between the partners, the age of the victim, and the age of the defendant. \nSome states have a single age of consent. In those states, a male or female under age 18 cannot consent to sex, regardless of the age of the other party. Thus, sexual relations between two 17-year-olds would be illegal, as would relations between a 17-year-old and a 25-year-old. \nYou need to check your local laws to see if the relationship is legal.  These laws are easily available online.  Just google "statutory rape" and the name of your state.

That woud depend on the statutory law of the state where the assault took place.  Many state woould still try the pesron as an adult depending on the law and the person's age.

If you are legally married, then no, you are not committing a crime.\nMarriage is the ONLY consistant legal defense for statutory rape.\nYou should should probably be ashamed of yourself unless you're also underage, but while it's crazy and usually wrong to be married to a fourteen year old, the marriage license makes it legal.

The age of consent in Ohio is 16; HOWEVER, be aware that this may not apply if an adult "in a position of authority" engages in sexual activity with a minor. This applies particularly to school employees.

Depending on the nature of his handicap, he may or may not be held accountable for his actions.\n\nRape by force is against the law. So is consensual sex if the person in question is under the state's minimum consent age. If both parties are under minimum age, then they've both committed a crime.\n\nWhether or not this case ever goes to a juvenile court, that's up in the air and tons of things could influence it either way.
