you two can have sex and everything, as long as you are both under 18, and lets say that you guys date all the way until your 18th birthday, you could still have sex with her when you're 18& she's 16&1/2 because it's a pre-existing relationship, and you can do everything the same after you turn 18.

Ignatz answered Friday April 18 2008, 12:53 pm: Okay. First off, take a deep breath. Since you and your girlfriend are close in age, the "Romeo and Juliet" clause would apply here. Basically, it's not statutory rape as long as you're both under 18 and there's less than four years difference between you.
Depending on your state's laws, there could be some anti-sodomy statutes invoked if her parents really want to be mean about your relationship, but that would be a serious legal stretch and would invoke the ire of LGBT activists everywhere.
But like Razhie said, I'd cool it on the erotic photography until you're both 18. Given the current climate, right now almost any picture of an underage girl in a swimsuit or underwear could be considered pornographic, depending on context.
Razhie answered Thursday April 17 2008, 12:59 pm: Your mother is wrong, those pictures cannot be used as evidence of statutory rape and there are very, very few states were a 16 year-old and a 14 year-old involved in a sexual relationship is illegal.
HOWEVER, some teenagers have been charged with the possession of child pornography or pornographic images featuring a minor for taking photos of thier signifigant others who are also underage.
The laws says no erotic photos until you are 18. So don't take any, and don't posses any of someone under 18. It simply isn't worth the risk (as I am sure you've learned now). [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
