Can a 15-year-old girl date an 18-year-old boy in Pennsylvania?

Answer 1

Yes, it is legal. States have not legislated dating ages. If it goes further than holding hands, even if she consents, he could be charged with statuary rape and the state could lay the charges.

Answer 2

It is not legal for an adult to have sexual relations with a 15 year old CHILD in any State in the United States. It is not legal for an adult to have sexual relations with a 15 year old CHILD in any State in the United States. But you can date them. just no sexual things

Answer 3

im kinda in the same boat. i like this 15 Year old and she likes me. the only thing is that my parents don't aprove. in my oppinion it should be how u see it. do u see anything wrong with with dating someone that is 3 years younger then you. yes there might be consiquenses for dating her... but is it worth it. do u truly like her and want to be with her. so if you don't don't have **x with her... than i don't see it as anything wrong i just see it as a normal relationship and if ppl have problems with it then they should ***k off.

Answer 4

Unwise? Probably! Illegal almost certainly not. It is not against the law to DATE, it is against the law to have sexual contact or send sexually explicit materials like texts & emails or pix.

• CAUTION! Their IS a whole different area that may be dangerous to you legally. IF you are sending explicit texts, email, IM or sexual pictures over the phone or internet, that could get you in deep deep do do! Since she is underage. This is a HUGE deal, he could be convicted of being a sexual predator & that stay with him for the rest of his life. Probably never going to happen, BUT you did ask so I thought it best to bring It up!

Answer 5

yes, just talk to your parents, and you two can't "hook-up" or he can be arrested for rape.

Answer 6

Yes. There are no "dating laws". Under Pennsylvania law, the age of consent is 16. However 13-15 year olds may consent to sex with someone who is less than 4 years older. So 15 and 18 are ok.

Answer 7

It's not illegal because its only a three year difference however if sex is involved good luck...age of consent is 16.

Answer 8

Dating is fine as long as the minors parents are OK with it. Dating does not mean sex however.

Answer 9

Dating is legal. Sex is illegal.
