Is this legal?

ight i have a sis that is 16 and turns 17 next year is it okay for her to be daeting a 20 year old?will she get in trouble?

Answers:
as long as it is dating she will be fine, just remember that date DOES NOT equal sex


its legal. i know someone who is married to someone 7 years older.
In most states 16 is the legal age of consent. But what exactly does a 20 year old want with a 16 year old? I think its legal but I do thinks its wrong.
No, but he will.
Depending on what state you live in she wouldn't be in trouble but the person dating her could be.
no, she won't. it's not illegal. sorry.
Man, I'm sorry but stop worrying about your sis's dating habits, and worry about your spelling and grammer.
no just a lil age diff a age aint notin but a number
She is the younger and minor of the two so generally (some states may different) the minor does not get in trouble.it is probably different for the 20 years old again depending on the state.
it depends upon the state law as to what's considered staturatory rape
There is no law against dating at all, regardless of age, since dating isn't really a particular act. However, certain sexaul things might be illegal, but it would depend on the state. In some states, 16 or even lower is the age of consent, so there would be no laws broken. In any event, she would not be in trouble at all, regardless of the state. The 20 year-old could be in some trouble, especially if they had sex.

With some more information, I could give you detailed laws for where you are.
