Can a 21 year old have sex with a 17 year old in louisiana?

Answer

Not legally because the 17 year old is still a minor and the 21 year old is a legal adult.

Answer

Majority or minority status does not determine legality of sexual contact. Age of consent statutes do. Louisiana Revised Statute 14 section 80 (RS 14:80) establishes the age of consent at 17. So the answer is yes.
