If your over the age of consent in your country, can you have s*x with someone who isn't?

Question

For example, in Australia the age of consent is 16, or 17 I'm not sure. So if your over 16 or 17 and you have s*x with someone who is 15, is it illegal or not. I heard it's ok if there's less than two years difference.

Answer 1

It depends on the specific law of each country; in most cases there is a basic "legal age of consent" but also an exception (or more than one) based on the difference of age between the people... involved.

For instance, in Italy legal age of consent is 14; but is 13 if there's no more than three years of difference.

In another nation age of consent could be 18 (mainly in some US state) but a difference of four years of age is OK between people who are at least 16, etc.  

So you have to accurately check the law of your own country.

Answer 2

No it is not legal.....Cuz that person that is 15 is'nt at the age of consent and no it is not ture that if there is less then a 2 yr. difference it ok cuz it's not!!
