Originally Answered: What is the youngest age an 18-year-old can date? It depends on the state. At 18 you are legally considered an adult. Now some states have a 2 year grace period, in that an 18 year old could date 16 year old, a 19 year old a 17 year old without consequences.

The legal age of consent in Califonia is 18 years old. This means it is a crime for anyone, regardless of age, to have sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 18. Having sex with a minor can result in prosecution for a crime – typically for statutory rape, per Penal Code 261.5.

Is it illegal for a teenager to date an 18 year old?

In a Nutshell: Sex between an 18 year-old and a 15 year-old is illegal in California, meaning any touching of “private parts” of either, even with consent of both parties (and perhaps even the parents of each teenager) is illegal in California because the age of consent is 18.

Are 14 year olds allowed to date?

The answer is it's up to the 14 year old. If it's legal and both people in the relationship are happy with it, perfect. (Even if there is no “inappropriate” behaviour, there are still plenty of issues with dating people who are 18+ So I'd recommend avoiding large age gaps at this age).

What is the Romeo and Juliet clause?

In the United States, many states have adopted close-in-age exemptions. These laws, known as "Romeo and Juliet laws" provide that a person can legally have consensual sex with a minor provided that he or she is not more than a given number of years older, generally four years or less.

How much of an age gap is OK?

Usually, anywhere from 1-7 years is considered an acceptable age difference between adults. People whose ages are within 1-3 years typically do not see much of an age difference, while years 4-7 might begin to feel a little bit more pronounced.
