The Colorado close-in-age exemption, often referred to as the "Romeo and Juliet" law, allows for certain legal protections for young individuals involved in consensual sexual relationships when they are close in age. Specifically, it provides that if one partner is at least 15 years old and the other is within a certain age range (typically within 4 years), they may not be prosecuted for statutory rape. This law aims to prevent the criminalization of consensual relationships between teenagers. However, it’s essential to consult legal resources or professionals for specific applications and limitations of the law.
