We have changed the entry in our chart to reflect the confusion in Missouri. We are able to document the age of consent as 17 provided one person if over 21. We can't document anything in which both parties are over 14 but less than 17.

There is a huge gray area for those between the ages 14 and 20. I have talked to local law enforcement and some county prosecutors about these statutes and how they prosecute with them. The general consensus has seemed to be that 14 is legal for a 20 year old, but once you turn 21 it jumps to 17. It's really not clearly defined in the statutes though.
