No, it is not. A sexual relationship with a minor is illegal. It is legally impossible for a relationship with someone under the age of consent to be "consensual". A minor, or a child (because that is how the law regards them) cannot consent to sex.
If there is an age limit for minor in your state that is older than the age of consent, then a sexual relationship with a minor over the age of consent is legal.
It depends on your relationship to the minor and your intended activities with said minor. By "being with" you mean engaging in ANY type of sexual activity or sexual talk, you already know the answer::: It is wrong and against the law! A child cannot consent to sex--even a teenage girl who might look or act older than her age. The laws intend to protect minors. You don't want the kind of trouble that can occur if you break those laws.
Yes. An adult having a sexual relationship with someone under the age of consent in your state (check what it is, because it varies) can be arrested, charged, convicted and end up in prison.
Someone "under the age of consent" is legally NOT ABLE to consent. So even if they say "Yes!" you are breaking the law.
Some states have lesser charges if the older partner is only one or two years older, but you have to check your local laws. Some states have lesser charges, or sometimes none at all, if BOTH partners are under the age of consent. Again, you have to find out for yourself.

A:It depends on what type of relationship you mean. If by this you mean a sexual relationship, then yes, it is illegal for an adult to have any type of sexual contact with anyone below the age of 18 in every state of the US. Although every state has Age of Consent laws, every state also prohibits those below the age of 18 to give consent. Seems a contradiction, and it is. The fact is that no one below the age of 18 may give consent to anything, and those adults who pursue or become involved in this type of situation stand strong probability of being prosecuted. Keep in mind that many states in the US do not recognize any statue of limitations on felonies, and this type of crime is a felony, so you would never be safe.Yes you can !
Consensual Encounter, Detention, and Arrest

A legal guardian, by definition, is going to be at least 18. A guardian is the single adult that has been given legal authority to take care of a minor. It isn't any person that is older than the minor.
A person under the age of 18.
Strictly defined by state laws. Many states this is legal. Several states will lock you up for Rape of a Child.
A consensual relationship is when both people consent to being in it. For this to happen they must both be over the age of consent, which is the age in your state when it is legal to have sex.A child (that is, someone under-age) can not consent to sex. It is always illegal and the punishments are very strict.
16
Yes, any sexual activity between a 12-year-old and a 19-year-old is illegal in South Carolina as the age of consent is 16. This would be considered a criminal offense, regardless of whether it occurred with consent. It is important to report such situations to the authorities for appropriate action.
Yes. * It depends upon the nature of the relationship. There are not laws that address the ages of persons who date. There are age of consent laws that pertain to sexual relationships of minors and adults regardless if the sex is consensual. The minimum AOC in any state for a minor engaging in consensual sex is 16, in many states it is higher.
I believe you are referring to consensual sex. What do you mean with "best"? It is the ONLY legal option. "Consensual" means with the consent, or permission, of the partners. Anything that is not consensual is rape - a crime in all countries.
A state's legal age pertaining to a minor engaging in consensual sex does not necessarily grant immunity from criminal or civil actions being taken against the adult who is involved. Ohio like ALL states have other laws that apply to ANY relationship between a minor and an adult. Some of those are, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, coercion and/or intimidation by an adult person in authority, endangerment of the well-fare of an underaged person, corruption of the morals of a minor, subjecting an underaged person to pornography, alchohol, illegal drugs, and so forth. The state reserves the right to apply such laws and the penalties prescribed, w/o the co-operation of the minor and/or the minor's parents or legal guardian. In a case with such a discrepancy in age it is quite likely that the adult will face numerous legal problems, especially if the minor's parents object to the relationship.

Yes, North Carolina has a Romeo and Juliet law, which allows for some exceptions to statutory rape laws for consensual sexual relationships between a minor and a partner who is within a certain age range. This law is intended to prevent criminal prosecution in cases where the age difference is minimal and the relationship is consensual.
