Best Answer

In most states if an older teenager has sex with someone younger, they are guilty of the crime of statutory rape, whether consensual or not. In a handful states an 18 or 19 year old cannot be charged with statutory felony rape of a consenting partner who is within a few years of his age. These are the Romeo and Juliet laws, so-called because Romeo is believed to have been 16 years old, and Juliet 13. Romeo would be a sex offender today.
