There is also a "close in age" exception for 12 and 13 year olds.
This means that if the partner is 5 years or older than the 14 or 15 year old, any sexual activity is a criminal offence. In other words, a person must be at least 16 years old to be able to legally agree to sexual activity.Ī 14 or 15 year old can consent to sexual activity as long as the partner is less than five years older and there is no relationship of trust, authority or dependency or any other exploitation of the young person. In some cases, the age of consent is higher (for example, when there is a relationship of trust, authority or dependency). The age of consent to sexual activity is 16 years. I’m just copy pasting Canadian law to give you an example. There should be protections surrounding lower ages of consent to ensure like you say so a 21 year old cannot have sexual relations with a 16 year old. I think the age of consent in itself is perfectly fine. I live in England and we have the same age of consent. I stand affirmed that it doesn’t matter if you are 18 or 21 years of age, you are engaging in an unhealthy activity by consuming alcohol. I feel no more safer on the road believing there are fewer 21 year olds involved in accidents on the road while DUI. I feel no more safer anywhere in public believing that “16%” fewer people do not drink alcohol, than before those statistics. While I appreciated your references cited, alcohol consumption isn’t healthy for anyone at any age.
#Age of consent in pa code
Code § 246." See “Conscription in the United States” United States federal law also continues to provide for the compulsory conscription of men between the ages of 17 and 45 and certain women for militia service pursuant to Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution and 10 U.S. citizens, regardless of where they live, and male immigrants, whether documented or undocumented, residing within the United States, who are 18 through 25 are required to register with the Selective Service System. "However, conscription remains in place on a contingency basis and all male U.S.
Enough with this hypocrisy already! They should have long before now have legalized alcohol consumption for 18 year old adults, and I am not a drinker.Ĭoncerning the draft for military service: Thus we draft 18 year old adults to fight our wars in defense of our country. Secondly, while they are treated like minors when it comes to alcohol consumption, yet should there be a war 18 year olds are seen and treated as “our fine men and women of the military” because that is what they are at 18 years of age legal adults.
The greatest hypocrisy about not allowing 18 year olds to legally drink alcohol is that if they are caught doing so, they are charged as adults not minors. Nor are 21 year olds on average more mature than 18 year olds about anything. There is virtually no difference at all between the two age groups. I’m saying there is very little difference in a sense of responsibility about consuming alcohol, to their behavior thereafter. They are going to lose their shit over this. Wait until I post this on the radical subs. That is a person who just turned 13 yo can have sex with someone say a month short of 18 yo. In 9 states a 13 yo can legally have sex with a 17 yo. This means that a 50 yo could legally have sex with a 16 yo. Unrestricted: age from which one is deemed able to consent to having sex with anyone else. I'm only saying that it is.Įdit 2: There are 16 states in USA where 16 yo is the unrestricted age of consent. People ages 16 and older can legally consent to sexual activity with anyone they choose, as long as the other person does not have authority over them as defined in Pennsylvania's institutional sexual assault statute.Įdit: Please don't blast on me. My rant is that age of consent should be 18 yo at the federal level.Ĭan a 16 year old date a 21 year old in PA? In my state the age of consent is only 16 yo.
