The Mann Act doesn't address my question, since it is not criminal to have sex in nevada at 17. No prostitution or commerce is involved so where does that leave it?

California age of consent is 18. Nevada age of consent is 16. The Mann Act doesn't appear to address the question, since it is not criminal to have sex in Nevada at 17. No prostitution or commerce is involved so where does that leave it? And what if the two travel separately and meet up in Nevada for sex?

A 17 year old is a child and should not be having sex. She should be in school and enjoying her high school years as a TEENAGER (she is not an adult in Nevada whether she is 16 or 18--she is a child no matter what state she is in) The CA male is a sick pervert for wanting to kidnap a child and have sex with children.

Didn't you ever hear of the Mann Act? "Whoever knowingly transports any individual in interstate or foreign commerce, or in any Territory or Possession of the United States, with intent that such individual engage in prostitution,or in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both"

You are truly digging at The Pit. 18-21 years of age I like to call probationary adulthood, any age before that is childhood. Sex with minors is ILLEGAL in all of North America.

It is against the law to take a minor out of state with out written consent of a parent or guardian.

If you meet in Nevada, there's no crime.
If you drive her across a state line, its arguably a federal offense -- transporting a minor across a state line for criminal purposes.

Don't know about the sex part, but taking a minor over states lines is kidnapping.

Transporting a female across state lines for immoral purposes is FBI territory!!

you are not suppose to transport a minor over statelines.
this applies more to kidnapping and helping run-aways.
if a parent were to allow their child to leave the state I think any sexual activity she has would fall under that state's laws

If you cross the state lines with her you are guilty of kidnap, a federal offense, so think before you do that.

Geez. No, the law applies to the state which the parties reside.
