Okay, if a girl is under 16 and a guy is 18, is it a legal for them to date? Someone told me that it is as long as you don't do anything with them but someone else told me that you can't date at all until the girl is 16. What's really legal?

Stat. rape can only be accused if y'all have sex, but I would be careful with what your state defines as legal or illegal. [ xoiiloveyou143xo's advice column | Ask xoiiloveyou143xo A Question ]

The only thing that is "illegal" is sex to minors and someone who is over 18. If a 15 year old wanted to date an 18 year old, its fine. If they have sex its considered statitory rape, but only if the family presses charges. So I suggest that if anyone under 16 is going to date someone 18 or above, they should make sure that their parents are aware so that there isnt any legal matters. You could check for your state to see whats legal and what isnt. Just google legal age of consent, and see what comes up. [ VainTaraLynn's advice column | Ask VainTaraLynn A Question ]
