• Your wrong Jackstain if the difference in years is only three it's legal, if it is three years and one day it is illegal, the question examples is up to six years. Example from one state CA.:

  In my state MA., it must be a five year difference, we are still a six according the question.
  So before you troll around and DR everyone, do your research.

• That page was a history of federal income, not sure how that would apply to dating.
  .
  Laws don't intervene with dating or friendship. As long as the parents are ok, then there is no problem. Sex, on the otherhand, is illegal.

• here is the example and all states are realitively close in the state laws, with just a few years seperating the differences between states..

• States can and will intervene even if a complaints even comes from a third party, that said states law authorities are not necessarily looking to intervene but, the authorities have every right to if they wish. In most states you are a minor in the eyes of the law until you reach either 17 or 18.
  There is been numerous cases in MA. where the parents consented that their daughter could date a adult. Not only was the boy friend charged but the parents lost custody of their daughter.
  
  The problem with you assertion is that there isn't any law, which means a adult can date a 6 year old, this is why there is a law in just about every state. The exception perhaps West Virginia, Kentucky and Tenn.

• And if she gets physically involved, it's statutory rape! Even if she consents!
  It falls more along the lines of inappropriate right now, but he'll carry a mark on his record if they have sex.

• Innocent until proven guilty.

  He would have to sex her, leave plenty of evidence, then piss off her and/or her parents enough that they try to ruin his life. Good luck trying to prove that the penis that entered her was over 18 years old. They would pretty much have to video tape the sex...not likely.

• I know what it is.
  But I assumed the person used an euphemism,
  since I've never heard about laws that disallow
  people to date without getting sexual.
