Age of Consent Laws By State

On these pages you will find statutory rape law information as it is listed on each state website. We do not post what we believe the age of consent to be but rather the laws so you are more informed. Statutory rape law varies from state to state so each state page includes a link to the state website where the information was pulled from. These pages are provided to you as a helpful resource only. If you are dealing with legal matters, consult with a criminal lawyer.

If you find any state listing that is inaccurate, incomplete or has a broken link, please help us keep this information up to date by letting us know.
