It is not at all a very bright line when you can legally have sex with a consenting 16 year old in West Wendover, NV but be a criminal for the same act with a 17 year old in what is essentially the same city of Wendover, UT.
Assuming that by "bright line" you're not referring to the boundary separating Nevada from Utah.
But all of that is just the disparity between two states in the same country! That "bright line" gets even fuzzier when you factor in the global age of consent: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Age_of_Consent.png https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Age_of_Consent.png
