I'm pretty sure that if the age of consent in another state is less than your state, it is forbidden to travel there to take advantage of that. I don't know how

    You're wrong. > Interstate Travel While each state’s legislature sets its own age of consent, crossing state lines does not grant a free pass. Crossing state lines to have sexual relations invokes federal law. The federal age of consent is 18. That means, for example, if two people over 16 in North Carolina and South Carolina moved across state lines to have relations, they would still be subject to the federal age of consent, even though they meet the age of consent in both states. In the case of online relations, the law applies based on the younger person’s state. For example, if an adult in Nevada attempted to send lewd messages or pictures to a minor in California, the Nevada resident would violate the law. https://www.cwsdefense.com/blog/2020/january/state-lines-and-the-age-of-consent/ https://www.cwsdefense.com/blog/2020/january/state-lines-and...

      The claim was that going from state A to state B to engage in sex would use the minimum of the two states' ages of consent. That is still false. What you are describing is the _federal_ aoc applying if interstate travel was involved. In the case of online activity, the act is considered to be happening in both states, without involving fedgov due to no state lines being crossed. None of this has anything to do with an act occurring entirely in state A and being subject to state B's laws. This is what's under discussion with abortion.
