Depends on the state. In some states the age of consent is 16 or 17, so in that case no crime would have been committed.
The laws can be pretty complex, however when the age gap is small the crime tends to be a misdemeanor if it is even a crime.

Any 15 365 days previous having intercourse is illegitimate. end of tale. Consensual purely applies to a concern the place the couple is an grownup and a minor. It instruments a minimum AGE (commonly sixteen) the place intercourse isn't "criminal" yet there heavily isn't a criminal offense of statutory rape. The be conscious consent would not stick to to a fifteen 365 days previous ever...they have not got the criminal authority to "consent".

Sex is a misdemeanor. The more we miss the meaner we gets.
