What is the age of legal majority in the state of Mississippi?

Answer 1

I would like to know what is the legal age of consent for sexual relations in the state of Mississippi?

This is the law on satutory rape. Basically it means if you are 16, you are of age. Also you can be as young as 14 as long as your partner is within 3 years of your age.

The following information was taken from the Mississippi state codes section via Lexis Nexis at http://198.187.128.12/mississippi/lpext.dll?f=templates&fn=fs-main.htm&2.0

(1) The crime of statutory rape is committed when:

(a) Any person seventeen (17) years of age or older has sexual intercourse with a child who:

(i) Is at least fourteen (14) but under sixteen (16) years of age;

(ii) Is thirty-six (36) or more months younger than the person; and

(iii) Is not the person's spouse; or

(b) A person of any age has sexual intercourse with a child who:

(i) Is under the age of fourteen (14) years;

(ii) Is twenty-four (24) or more months younger than the person; and

(iii) Is not the person's spouse.
