Thanks to the No Child Left Behind Law the age of consent is being raised in most states to 18. This is being done so young people can no longer drop out of school.
When it comes to sex between two minors the age of consent has several loopholes. Yes there is the chance of the guy being charged with rape since the girl is under the age of consent. Then again there is in some states an age difference test that has to be met. Meaning if they are both within a certain age group then neither one can consent or the male is not considered to be committing statutory rape because of an age variance gap. Therefore no rape has been committed unless he forced her. Most states have or are closing these loop holes so it is best to know the law in your state.
Do not consider crossing a state line if the laws in that state are better than the laws in your state. You then fall under a federal law known as the Mann Act and that law is really tough.
If she is not actually 15 or even if she is 15 and you are real close to 18; you are very close to that line or over it in many states. My advice would be to find a girl closer to your own age to have sex with.

The age of consent varies from state to state. Most states, the age of consent is 16. It can sometimes be older so you'd need to find that out.
But most likely since the girl is 15, it's most likely illegal.

Most states require the age of 16 to be able to legally consent to sex. So in other words yes, it is illegal.

I don't know if rules change from state to state. All I know is that many teens are having sex. They are all under age and if consenting to do so together, no body seems to mind. If the underage girl is forced and raped by a guy underage that is now a crime as it would be for a male any age to do that. I think most the laws serve to prevent an adult male or female from having sex with someone under legal age of 18.
If you still aren't sure about this, maybe talk to your local "Planned Parenthood agency"
