under the age of 17. most states 17 or 18 is the age consent for sex. so if some one 17 has sex w/ say a 14yr old. then its rape no-forcible or if 2 14 yr olds have sex. same thing.

The MO age of consent is 17; if one party is 21 or over, it's statutory rape if the other is under 17. If one party is under 14, it's statutory rape unless both are under 14. There's enough vagaries in the law that it's dangerous to mess around in MO.
