Hypothetically. I'm just curious, because I know the age of consent in Pennsylvania is 16. Does this mean that if I was 16, I could have s*x with an 18 year old and it would be legal? How about if I was 16 and the partner was 20? 22? I heard something about a possible 4 year gap limit in some states. Would that effect those situations?
I know it is morally and socially unacceptable. And at 16 it might be seen as too young anyways. Regardless, I'm just curious about the laws.
I had a friend, she was 16 and got pregnant with a 32 year old. (I know, not good.) Would this be illegal even though the age of consent is 16?
I ask this all hypothetically because I just want to know the actual truth about those situations.
Please provide your reliable sources to any answers.
Thank You!
