In Maryland, the age of consent is 16. This means that if someone is involved in sexual relationship with an individual under the age of 18, it is not considered statutory rape if a 16-18 year old consents to the relationship. Any child under the age of 16 cannot legally consent, and any sexual relationship is illegal.

The age of consent is when a person is considered old enough to consent to a sexual relationship. A person having a sexual relationship with someone under the age of consent has committed statutory rape.
The age of consent in Maryland is 16.

In Maryland, the age of consent is sixteen. this means that if somebody is in touch in sexual relationship with somebody below the age of 18, that's not considered statutory rape if a sixteen-18 year previous has an identical opinion to the relationship. Any infant below the age of sixteen won't be able to legally consent, and any sexual relationship is unlawful.
