He is turning 20 and you are turning 17 is that statutory rape?

In: Age of Consent & Underage Relationships, Statutory Rape [Edit categories]

Answer:

Probably not, but the laws vary according to the state or country you are in. In most places, the age of consent to sexual activity is 16, but it could be as high as 21. Many also have 'close in age' exceptions usually within two or three years of age.
