It’s always crazy to me how frequently this is overlooked. If you went out and asked 1000 random ppl what the legal age was in the country, I feel like pretty much all of them would say 18. I could’ve sworn it was 18 nationally like my entire life until a few years ago when I found this out.
The lesson here is that in many states, if you’re a senior in High School and dating a junior, you risk getting put on the sex offenders watch list for your entire life if your partner’s parents don’t approve.

If I had to answer, I’d prob say 17, but 16 some places tbh
Yes, just do not take pictures or cross state lines for sure.
I’m sorry dog but that’s not the lesson here
Oh, I agree, just saying that’s probably why people think 18.

Cite a case or GTFO
Romeo and Juliet laws are a thing specifically to prevent this.
Well, about half the states have one, so that is no guarantee, either.
