What is the law on Sexual consent between 16 year old girl and 24 year old male in Idaho?

Answer 1

Idaho, like most other states, has a law that defines sexual contact with a minor as statutory rape. Idaho statutory rape laws define an age of consent, meaning that anyone under that age is legally incapable of consenting to have sexual relations with an adult. The law assumes they are too young to make an informed decision.

Statutory rape is an act that typically takes place without any threats of violence or any actual force.

Idaho statutory rape laws define the age of consent as 18. Therefore, my research shows that if you have sex with a person who is 17 years old or younger, you are committing the crime of statutory rape. Sexual activity is defined as penetration of the mouth, vagina or anus.

If you are 18 years old or older, and you have sex with a minor age 16 or younger, you will be charged with sexual abuse of a minor, according to Idaho statutory rape laws. This is a felony charge in Idaho, as it is in many other states. The punishment for sexual abuse of a minor is time in spent in jail. The sentence could be as long as 25 years.

Idaho statutory rape laws even go so far as to declare sexual contact with a minor a crime. If you engage in genital-to-genital contact with a person who is 16 years old or younger, you can be found guilty of a felony. This is called lewd conduct with a minor child, according to Idaho statutory rape laws. These charges can result in a jail term of many years, or even life in prison.

Answer 2

There are no laws for dating, that is for the minors parents to decide, but there are laws for sex and in Idaho you have to be 18 to have sex.
