What is wrong with wanting the age of consent lowered?
Q. How does that make me a pedophile? If i was a pedophile, i wouldn't care about the law anyway so it wouldn't be relevant. If anything, it shows I am not a criminal because I obey the laws, I just want them changed.

A. The age of consent in Ohio is 16. Persons aged 16-17 must have consent to marry from parents or legal guardians and may have to contact the Probate Court. The Court will require the minors to state that they have received marriage counseling that is satisfactory to the court. A woman who is under 16 and pregnant may ask the juvenile court for permission to marry, but they are not required to give permission and they do not need their parents consent

What does reaching 'the age of consent' allow the girl to consent too?
Q. My niece and I are having a debate. She is turning 16 this fall and I understand that in AZ that is the age of consent for girls. I am telling her that if she goes out and has sex with anyone they can still be arrested for statutory rape of a minor and she feels that if she is past the age of consent then he can't be arrested. Just what does 'age of consent' cover ?

A. Your niece would be correct, IF 16 was the statutory age in Arizona. But, it's 18 in Az, not 16. Arizona Statutes 13-1405 : "A person commits sexual conduct with a minor by intentionally or knowingly engaging in sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact with any person who is under eighteen years of age." "Sexual conduct with a minor who is at least fifteen years of age is a class 6 felony."

what exactly does the age of consent law state?
Q. I'm writing a paper, and included is my opinion on abortion. One of the issues is the transportation of minors to get abortions, which I'm opposing in my essay. For one of my supporting details, I wanted to bring up the age of consent, but I was a bit confused with this. Does the age of consent state that its illigal for someone under the age of consent to have sex with someone over the age, or illigal to have sex at all?
Asked by Stephanie F - Mon Sep 22 18:35:39 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The "age of consent" is the age which a state establishes that one is able to consent to have sexual intercourse or sexual contact. This age can be as low as 14 years to 18 years in the USA. There are also "close in age exceptions" too, which effectively change this age of consent. For example in FL it is legal for someone under 24 to have sex with a 16 year old, but someone over 24 can't have sex with someone under 18. And yes, it can also be be illegal for someone under the age of consent to have sex with anybody. An example I'm aware of is in NY where the age of consent is 17. So if two 16 year olds that have consensual sex with each other, they are effectively guilty of "sexual misconduct" which is a misdemeanor.

I would question the idea of lowering the age of consent laws however. You should make sure to have a counter arguement for the very real fact that in lowering the age of consent laws you are also giving pedophiles and child molestors a legal right to sex with children who would have been protected under current laws.

However, every state has an unrestricted age of consent (it is 16 in CT). At that age, it does not matter what the age of the other party (assuming they are also over 16). A 16 yr old can have sex with a 50 yr old if they want.

A. The age of consent is actually age 17. but there is a clause in the law called the Romeo and Juliet clause, which states that age of consent can be 14 , but that is only if you are having sex with someone no older than 17. The 17 yr old not having any prior sex offense. In other words you and your boy friend would be okay to having sex. From what I understand is that there can be an age difference of only 3yrs in order for it to be considered consent. Also the youngest from what I understand would be at the age of 14. So for all those who are under the age of 14 it is against the law for someone to have sex with you, no matter their age. and for those who are 14 yrs or older (until you reach the age of 17 consent) you can only have sex… [cont.]
