Apologies to any American Tattlers but the USA is weird as duck when it comes to State law.
You could legally be having sex with your 16 year old girlfriend in one state, then cross into another for a holiday and be arrested for statutory rape. The age of consent varies from 16 to 18 depending where you are and then there's the confusion of the Romeo & Juliet law (the example I gave earlier re: 16+ and -23). Then there are states where you can get married from 14 with parental consent.
bleeping mad.
