There is nothing to consider. It IS statutory rape.
Statutory means that it is by STATUTE man! The statute says it is rape, so it is statutory rape!
Your question should be, "Do you consider a 17 yr old and a 14 yr old having sex to be rape?"

New York State says sex between people within four years of age of each other is legal if one of the parties is below age of consent.

in new york, yes that's statutory rape. where i live (CA), it's not until the person turns 18. that does seem like too big of an age difference for high school students though.

The avarage age of first intercourse is 15,3 year old. 14 years old is pretty close to 15,3 so it isn't unusual I think.
It is not a rape unless she says "stop" and you refuse it.
But it is against the law to have sex when you are under 15 or 17 years old (cant remember), but no one really cares I think.
I was 17 and my girlfriend was 14 when we first had sex. No problems there...

It relies upon on the community and state regulations, yet frequently, it somewhat is seen the two sexual misconduct with a minor, sexual abuse, or statutory rape. Legally, a newborn of 13-14 does not have the psychological capacity to grant consent. era. no rely how "mature" he or she could be. someone does not legally have the impressive to decide on approximately his or her very own physique till 17 or 18, staring on the state and native regulations. desire that helps!

If that's the law, then it is undoubtedly Statutory Rape. Say Bye-Bye.
