Is it legal for a 21 year old to date a 16 year old in Virginia?

Answer 1

There are no laws for dating so it's up to the parents to decide. There is however laws regarding sex where the minor have to have reached the age of consent in their state. It varies between 16-18.

Answer 2

It is legal to for a 15 year old girl to date a 19 year old boy, although it is not generally considered prudent.

Of critical importance, however, is that, in Virginia, the legal age of consent is 18, which means that a 19 year old having sex with a 15 year old (any gender) is automatically guilty of statutory rape, regardless of whether or not the 15 year old gives consent. Do not do it!

Note: This answer differentiates dating from sex. They are not the same thing.

Answer 3

The age of consent is 18 in Virginia and anyone can report you for stautory rape eventhough you never had sex. You can date but not have sex, there are no laws regarding dating only sex, but you are taking a risk.
