In the US, anyone below the age of 18 is a minor (below the age of majority). All states have individual Age of Consent laws, but these do not protect anyone involved from prosecution under other applicable state or Federal Laws.
US Federal Age of Consent statute is 18; this applies to crossing state or national borders (The Mann Act), crimes committed on Federal land, and transmission of digital or hard copy images. The "Federal land" bit can be tricky; all of Washington DC is federal land; national parks are federal land; state interstate highways and their easements are federal land; railroad lines, property, and their easements are federal land; federal buildings and all associated outdoor spaces are federal land. In short, you can be on federal land and not even be aware that you are.
