There's no age limit for dating. What matters is that you and the guy click!

First, you need to understand that Penal Codes aren't the same in every state. \n\nIn California, 288 PC, Lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old, under the punishment section states : "Shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for three, six, or eight years.\n\nThe use of "Shall be" leaves little room for options. "May be" is usually used in circumstances where more options are available.\n\nSo, according to the California State Penal Code book, probation would not be an option. It is likely, however, due to prison overcrowding, that the convict could end up being released early but put on parole, which is like probation on steroids.

By the UCMJ a military person can date a person 16 years or older.  Although also by military standards you must adhere to local/state laws.  If the state age of consent is 18 the youngest you can date is 18.  If the state age of consent is 15 the youngest you can date is 16.

Whoa, cowboy...just a point of order here, to keep someone out of trouble.  The whole "over 16" thing may be true in some states, but nobody here should think it applies in California.\n\nBecause it ain't so.\n\nIn California, you must be 18 and older to legally have sex.  Does not matter who consents to what.  End of story.\n\nMy apologies to the asker...this is not an answer to the original question and I probably should be made to forfeit two points just for doing it.\n\nOkay, let's look at the question:\n\nHmph.  Does not say what I thought it did.  In court, this question would be responded to with this; "Objection.  Assumes facts not in evidence."\n\nIn other words, the asker of this question is stating as fact that a man who sleeps with another man's wife (with her consent) can be charged (with what we do not know, but we'll assume a crime).  Therein lies the "fact" which is not in evidence yet.\n\nIn California, it never will be.  Two consenting adults can do doggone near anything they want to in California...the more I think of it, when it comes to sex they *can* do anything they want, as long as both (all?) agree.  \n\nSo the question, at least in my state, is flawed.  It states that a man can be charged for humping someone else's wife and that isn't true.  Therefore, a woman wouldn't be charged with humping someone's husband for the same reason...it's legal in this state.\n\nEven further, now that I think about it:\n\nIf we're talking about legally married spouses, then it's probable that someone could legally have sex at an age less than 18 in this state.  You can't legally marry until you are 18 OR with...umm...something... parental permission or emancipation, I think.  If you're emancipated, you can have sex as far as I know.  Not sure about the parental permission for marriage equalling the right to hump.\n\nBizarre question.\n\nEven more bizzare answer.

In some state's, 16 is the legal age of consent, how ever talk to a DA (not cops) about possible charges of indecent liberties with a minor. She is still considered a minor becuse she is under 18 fed. law. Also when you talk to the DA mension a PFA or protection from abuse order. as an adult you have a responablity to look after your daughter and a PFA (A.K.A restraining order) will force him to stay away from your daughter or face jail time.

I'm not familiar with California law, but I'd have to believe that to become married, both people must be living. So, the answer would be, Yes, it is illegal.

Age should not make a difference. I should know, I am dating a younger man. So as long as the age is legal I see no harm in it. But, honestly, what do you think you have in common with a 20 y/o?

If the age of consent in your state is more than sixteen, then you need to tell someone who can be responsible.

People it's only illegal and statutory rape if they have sexual contact.\n\nIt is still a bit too much dating someone that young though.  If he's the pursuer, then it's totally creepy and gross.  If she's the pursuer, then it's just cute and he probably won't be interested.

it's prefectly legal if not a bit strange. the maturity levels between a 15 year old and a 12 year old are pretty different. the only legal problem that could arise is if after 3 years if they are still dating and the 18 yr old and 15 yr old have sex and are caught, that would be statutory rape.

There are different def. of age in different laws.  For example, in Texas, anyone 17 years old is an adult for normal crimes.  However, the Family code defines a juv is anyone under 18.  So does the education and government code.  The Health and  Safety code defines a minor as anyone under 21 (that's the one that deals with alcohol.) \nLike it was said before, each state and federal law is different.

That depends upon the specific state law.  Some states draw a firm line at the age of consent while others allow for a "window" where a 15 & 17 year old might be OK even when the age is 16.  You need to consult with an attorney licensed in your state to get an exact interpretation of the law.  \n\nSince you failed to post your state, it's not possible to research it any further.  On-line research has its limitations as well, as sites that cover this topic may not be up-to-date and recent changes in the law could either protect you or condemn you.\n\nHint:  If you're being brought up on charges, you already know the answer.  If the 15 yr old's parents are threatening charges, they've probably already checked the law.  They MIGHT be blowing smoke, but do you want to risk a lifetime on sex-offender registries and find out the hard way??\n\nBased on the information that you provided outside of this forum, I'd suggest that you back down until the young lady turns 16.  The laws are vague enough in your state that you could find yourself in deep doo-doo if her parents push the issue.  There is NO love that is worthy of a lifetime on sex-offender registries; let alone a stretch in prison as the "girlfriend" of some big, hairy, smelly ogre.

It depends on the maturity level of the kid. My son I think would be fine at being allowed to date at age 15 (opinion subject to change w/o notice).My niece,who I love as my daughter, I would not let out untill she is 18.I love her, but the girl has no kind of good sense!

California: If either the bride or groom is under 18, at least one of the minor's parents, or legal guardian, must appear with the couple. Certified copies of birth certificates are required. The couple must also schedule an appointment with a counselor and then appear before a superior court judge. \n\nPENAL CODE \nSECTION 261-269

Go to this website:\n\n\nhttp://www.ageofconsent.com\n\nAnd ignore all the answers you are about to get that say the age of consent in the US is 18.  These laws are handled by state law, not federal law.

There is NO WAY ON EARTH that a 14 year old should be going out with an 18 year old.  It is not "against the law" to date, but anything sexual with him is a crime (for him, not for you).
