That still doesn't make it legal 🙄Hell, I'd rather wait a few years till we were both over 18 rather than run the risk of the elder of us going to jail. Now, that may not be the "mature' thing to do, or the "loving" thing to do, ya know, trying to keep the person you supposedly love out of jail, but it's just the thing I would do, because I'd rather wait a few years than see the person I love behind bars for many many more years and with a permanant stain on their record as a sexual offender. I personally, wouldn't do that to the person I loved. Now, not to say that rat face wouldn't rather just wait instead of ****ing you now and not caring that you go to jail later, I mean, whatever, that's just how I see it.
While some legislation dealing with age of consent sets a hard and fast age under which sexual relations are prohibited, some jurisdictions have included exceptions to this. The exception can take the form of a defense at trial on the grounds of the close age of the participants, or can be an actual close in age exemption in the law negating any charges. The latter details acceptable age ranges for consensual sex between peers that otherwise would not be legal because one or both of the participants would be below the age of consent. The age differences of these two types of legislation vary by jurisdiction, from as low as one year (as in South Australia) to as high as ten years (as in Colorado).
