Best Answer

Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor, a Class 1 Misdemeanor (Up to 12 months in jail and/or a fine of up to $2500.00). This is a unique charge in Virginia in that if you give a beer or have sex with a girl in the 16 to under 18 age group in Virginia it is considered the same charge. A case to illustrate this concept is the three charges former Virginia Tech Quarterback Marcus Vick received for having sex with, giving alcohol and marijuana to a high school student.

There are no laws regarding dating. However, there are laws regarding sexual contact. In most states the age of consent is 16, so in those states there is no issue. However, there are states where the age of consent is older then 17, so consult the laws for your state.

Dating is legal but for sex you have to wait until she is 18 because that is the age of consent there.

There is no law against talking to someone who is younger.
