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.

∙ 9y agoIt 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.

∙ 11y agoYes. 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.Wiki User

Is it legal for a 16-year-old girl to have sexual relations with a 30-year-old in the state of Ohio since the age of consent is 16 there?
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.
