The age of consent in Michigan is 16 which means if you had consensual sex with a 16 year old, you would not be in violation of Michigan sexual offense laws for criminal sexual conduct; unless, the adult is a teacher or school administrator in the school where the minor is a student, in which case the age of consent changes to 18.

750.520e Criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree;

1) A person is guilty of criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree if he or she engages in sexual "contact"with another person and if any of the following circumstances exist:

(a) That other person is at least 13 years of age but less than 16 years of age, and the actor is 5 or more years older than that other person.

(f) That other person is at least 16 years of age but less than 18 years of age and a student at a public or nonpublic school, and the actor is a teacher, substitute teacher, or administrator of that public or nonpublic school. This subdivision does not apply if the other person is emancipated or if both persons are lawfully married to each other at the time of the alleged violation.

(2) Criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of not more than $500.00, or both.

It is important to note that the Federal Age of Consent is 18, which supercedes all state laws.
