Age difference?
Ok, so, I know that someone over 18 can't date a minor, but, is there a certain age that you can't date [younger] if you are 16?
I found out that my ex [who is 16] dated a 6th grader [they just broke up this year] and they had sex. Is that legal?
I'm just really curious, because I heard it was, but I'm not quite sure. I've looked on google. but I couldn't find anything on it.
-I'm not looking to get her, or her ex gf in trouble, I'm just really curious.
Thanks!

Thats pretty fucked up.
As far as illegal, its entirely possible.
13 can have sex with anyone else who is a minor their age or older, but if you're over 13 and the other person is under 13 that falls into most states definition of child abuse.
Charges would include... contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a charge of sexual indecency with a child or rape for every time he had sex with her, child molestation, child enticement, and probably a couple more. There are alot of different laws to outlaw every specific thing, so touching her, the actual act of sex, oral sex, convincing her to have sex (especially by phone, e-mail, or text), all have different charges associated so that you can bust someone who does just one of these things. Whats more, they can choose to charge multiple times for multiple things. Every time he had sex with her he could be hit with an instance of these charges, so if he say slept with her 10 times he could get a separate charge for each individual action, times 10 times. They don't usually throw the book at someone his age, but at the very least he could be facing upwards of 10-20 years in prison if tried as an adult.
Depends on your state, and possibly your county within the state. There are tons of laws he could be charged for violating.
