I believe this varies by state and by age (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_North_America#State_laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_North_Ameri...). As I understand it, here in New York, two consenting but unmarried 16-year-olds would technically be engaging in mutual statutory rape, but two 15-year-olds could not be charged with the same crime.
- bskap 14y agoThe 16-year-old thing seems like a really strange provision. My guess would be that nobody in the state legislature wants to be the guy that brought up that bill about 16 year olds having sex.
