Follow 7 I personally find 18 year olds too damn annoying, couldn't imagine how much worse a 16 year old would be. Zechs Follow 23 followers 14 badges Send a private message to Zechs.
Follow 8 Follow 9 Follow 10 Original post by Anonymous I googled it because I'm a little concerned cus four years is a decent gap at this age. Google resulted in a lot of people saying how it's strange and weird that I would do this and my friend last night said it was a big gap. I guess I'm just used to seeing people my own age and I'm having second thoughts about it, Google did the opposite of reassuring me.
Follow 11 The age gap itself isn't great but the level in maturity is likely to be great. Original post by Mancini It's not simply the 4 yrs she's bloody Get some morals men , you shouldn't need to ask people's advice you should know already.

Follow 18 Follow 19 You need to bear in mind that if the two of you had sex it would be illegal; even though she's above the age of consent she is still legally a child which would make you guilty of statutory rape, even if it is entirely consensual, you could be put on the sex offenders register.

University of Cambridge Replies: Advice on everyday issues Replies: Royal Holloway, University of London Replies: Friends, family and work Replies: Georgia statutory rape law is violated when a person has consensual sexual intercourse with an individual under age 16 who is not their spouse. While no close in age exemptions exist in Georgia, if the offender is under age 19 and the victim is no more than 4 years younger, the offense is classified as a misdemeanor rather than a felony. Georgia does not have a close-in-age exemption.
Close in age exemptions , commonly known as "Romeo and Juliet laws", are put in place to prevent the prosecution of individuals who engage in consensual sexual activity when both participants are significantly close in age to each other, and one or both partners are below the age of consent. Because there is no such "Romeo and Juliet law" in Georgia, it is possible for two individuals both under the age of 16 who willingly engage in intercourse to both be prosecuted for statutory rape , although this is rare.
Similarly, no protections are reserved for sexual relations in which one participant is a 15 year old and the second is a 16 or 17 year old. The Age of Consent ranges state-by-state from 16 to 18 years old across the United States.

Georgia has eight statutory sexual abuse charges on the books which are used to prosecute age of consent and child abuse related crimes within the state. One or more of these charges may be used to prosecute violations of the Georgia Age of Consent, as statutory rape or the Georgia equivalent of that charge.
