If a 18-year-old man has sex with a 15-year-old girl how does he get out of going to jail on statutory rape charges?

Answer:

It depends on the Age of Consent in the place where you live.

In many states and countries the AOC is 16, so he'll probably be in trouble, but you should find out the age of consent in your state.

He is 3 years older than the girl. Some states have laws which say this isn't as serious as if he were 25.
