is it rape?

Question

Answer 1

Depends on what state you live in. Some states have different ages of consent to have sex. Generally it's not statutory rape if the ages are so close together. But, for example, I live in Idaho, and sex between two unmarried people is illegal, but not enforced.

This list will tell you based on your state, what the age of consent is . If the age of consent is 18 in your state, then it's statutory rape until your sister is 18. If she didn't give her consent, then regardless it's rape.

KANSAS 16

Kansas law prohibits various sexual scenarios, and has a special category
for sex with a person between 14 and 16. Adults breaching this criminal
sodomy section face harsh penalties, but Kansas lawmakers carved out some
breathing space for youthful miscreants, provided they are 18 or under, and
within four years of age of their consensual partner. Called the "Romeo and
Juliet" law, the provision limits the penalty for teen sex to 15 months in
jail, and does not require the perpetrator to register as a sex offender.
But the "Romeo and Juliet" law only applies to heterosexual teen-agers. Also
it is a felony for school employees to have consensual sexual contact with
students ages 16 or 17, even if it is only french-kissing.

KENTUCKY 16

LOUISIANA 17

Louisiana law allows prosecutors to seek the death penalty for people
convicted of having consensual sex with a person under 12 years old. The
Louisiana state Supreme Court declared the law constitutional in 1999
because of a 1977 U.S. Supreme Court ruling addressing the rape of an adult,
not a child. The U.S. Supreme Court in 1977 banned the death penalty for
raping adult women, but the justices did not say whether it could be applied
to child rapists. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the 1999 Louisiana
case, allowing the death penalty law to stand.

If someone was to get involved, like ur parents they really could say it was rape. Even with her consent, in most state.

But if she told him NO, its rape no matter how u slice the pie.
