The second. It means the age at which a person can consent to having sex without their partner being brought up on statutory rape charges. Basically, younger than this age is thought to be too young to make such a decision in a mature manner, and therefore sexual relations with a person below this age are illegal - even if they consent. Many states have adopted "age difference" clauses, where if the ages of the sex partners is not great, they won't get in AS MUCH trouble.

This is more as to how it should be, but it is government laws that are inplace to protect a very few without regard to the majority. age of concent should be up to the parents and the children. Who knows their children better than their parents or at least they should. These "laws" make criminals out of young people (usually the boys) because of the age of concent laws and age difference laws...If an 18+ year old boy has sex with his 17 year old girlfriend whom the parents are in agreement with them dating, the law makes the boy a criminal and has a life long pedofile charge against him. This is not right! These laws are not changed because parents will not require them to be changed and young people generally do not have the money required and they do not vote so polititions will not listen to them, both state and federal.
