Not if you date online only. Also, it isn't illegal for two minors to date. And it isn't illegal for a minor and an adult over the age of 18 to date. It's illegal for them to have sex, specifically, it is illegal for the person over 18 to have sex with a minor.


Can a minor date an adult in Idaho?

A non-sexual relationship with a minor is usually legal. But keep in mind that activities with a minor that may not involve actual sex, such as seeing each other nude or touching various body parts may also be illegal. Even in a non-sexual relationship, there are certain rules when a minor is involved. Doing anything illegal or immoral could be deemed "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" which is a crime. But typically there are no legal issues with simply dating or spending time together.

Is it illegal in Pennsylvania for a 25-year-old male and a 14-year-old female to have a non-sexual relationship?

Such a relationship could be construed under the existing laws of the state as being illegal. All states have laws pertaining to relationships between adults and minors. Some examples of these laws that could result in the adult facing criminal charges and prosecution are, corruption of the morals of an underage person, contributing to the deliquency of a minor, coercion, intimidation or exploitation of a minor by a person of authority, subjection of a minor to pornography, lewd and lacivious behavior or illegal substances, and other laws which are of such a broad nature they can be liberally applied. In addition, proscecutors are more than willing to pursue such cases and likewise judges are not hesitant to impose maximum sentences on the adult offender.
