In Philippines age of consent is 23, meaning if person marries needs parental consent. But the legal age is 18. As to bail , it is fund depending on the crime that is bailable, beacause capital punishment is unbailable, is deposited for the temporary release of the culprit.

Yes, it varies by state AND by country. In Michigan the age of consent is 16. Jail bait refers to anyone you can go to jail for having sex with.

In Canada the age of consent (for sexual activity) is 14 yrs. The two exceptions to this are:
-The person is in a position of authority over the youth, then it is 18yrs ie. teacher, counselor, babysitter
-If the difference in ages is less than two years (15 year old can legally have sex with a 13 year old if the difference is less than two years between them)
There is legislation currently in the works to have the age changed to 16, because as creepy as it sounds, a 50 year old man can have sex with a 14 yr old the way the law is currently written (try telling that to parents who call to complain).

It varies from State to State but you shouldn't be messing with anyone under the age of 16

In Missouri where I grew up it was 15.5yrs for consent and in Scotland where I live now it is 16 (the same for the whole of the UK).
