It is legal to be with someone when your 18 and the person is 17. The "sagitory rape" rule works for what I think may be a 4 year difference (or just an unreasonable age difference), such as a 12 year old and a 20 year old, or even an 18 year old and a 12 year old. I found this out in a Criminal Justice seminar at my college.

The legal age of consent in Louisiana is 17, so the age of the younger person is above the age of consent. However, there may still be legal implications due to the age difference and potential power dynamics involved. It is important to consult with a legal professional for specific advice in this situation.
