Okay so I'm 18 years old, and I live in Georgia, US. Is it legal to have sex with my 16 year old girlfriend


Okay so I'm 18 years old, and I live in Georgia, US. Is it legal to have sex with my 16 year old girlfriend?
I've done my research but I can't seem to investigate with enough detail as to the for sure Age of Consent and Fornication laws. Thanks for the help! Well 16 is the age of consent law in Georgia, however I've heard conflicting information speaking of her being a minor, that it is still illegal.

7 :

8 :
It is illegal throughout the world until you officially marry.
9 :

10 :
idk but you really should think about it, also you could talk to a police officer, dont be shy they cant do anything if you havent done anything, you could even say "hey im doing a reaserch paper on sex ed, and i need to know the states legal age of sex do you know what it is?"
11 :
No, anyone 18+ is considered an adult. Anyone under that age is considered a minor. I'm qite sure you all have already did it.
12 :
it really is very disrespectful. her parents have raised her and still have two years with her. why don't you talk to them and see how they feel. it may be legal, but it's also legal for her parents to tell her she can't see you. sometimes it's ok to think of others and be mature about it
13 :
I believe in all states you are a minor until the age of 18. So I would say it isn't legal, but in this day and age a lot of couples are minors dating ppl that's 18 or older. So just practice safe sex and don't piss off her parents and you'll be okay.
14 :
the following of from wikipedia Georgia The age of consent in Georgia is 16 as specified by Section 16.6.3 of the Criminal Code of Georgia. Also stated in the Criminal Code of Georgia 16.6.3 subsection (c), if a person is "at least 14 but less than 16 years of age and the person convicted of statutory rape is 18 years of age or younger and is no more than four years older than the victim, such person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." so legally seems she CAN give consent
15 :
well its still not legal, i am a police officer in the state of florida, and the law states that both must be 18 years of age to be sexually active with one another otherwise it is considered statutory rape.
16 :
Yes. The age of consent in Georgia is 16. =]
17 :
Probably. The key is are you more then two years older? If you were 19 it would be statutory rape. The question you should be asking is how mean is her dad and does he own a gun?
18 :
i don't think so. since 18 is the age of legal adulthood, then i think it's illegal since she's only 16. really, i don't see the problem if she gives you the okay. but anyway...
19 :
No, it isn't legal. It's considered statutory rape, even if both parties are consenting and if you two do have sex and she doesn't press statutory charges, if her parents find out, they can press charges without her consent.
20 :
A lot of States have a different age of consent. In NY it's 18, and I believe that it may be the same in Georgia. Why don't you call the District Attorney's Office in your city , and tell him that you are writing an article for the School Paper and want to know the age of Consent in Georgia? Or go to a Library and ask the Librarian if there are any books that you can read on Laws in Georgia?

I live in GA 2
