Here's a site of interest to all you pervs ...I mean Romeos and Julietts...out there: A table of worldwide ages of consent, including US states Note the notes at the bottom of the page. For example, even though the age of consent in Japan is 13 at the federal level, most local governments have laws on the books overriding this and raising it to 18. Other countries are more liberal or more restrictive. While most places are between 16 and 18, there's at least a couple of places where it's 21!!! Note 17 is also important:
A lot of countries have Male/Male sex illegal, but Female/Female is OK! Edit: In West Virginia it's 16 unless you're related?
The UK listing looks wrong - I thought it was 10 as long as accompanied by a bottle of cider in a park after 11pm!? no?! f***in seems like it around here!
True Story about Hawaii. The age of consent used to be 14. My old boss who was the DA in Maui, would tell me stories about tourists from the mainland calling his office wanting him to prosecute because they would come back to their hotel and find some older local dudes porking their young daughter. From ages 14 and up. Perfectly legal. So my boss would explain to them, there is absolutely nothing they can do. I think they recently raised the age to 16, but funny story nonetheless. Sometimes he was afraid he'd have to prosecute the father because he was afraid the dad would go out and murder the guy who boned his daughter.
Could you blame them though? I'm not a dad (that I know of ), but there would be a puddle of red where a person used to be if I caught a guy sleeping with my 14 year old daughter or niece or sister.
You have a 14 year old daughter? Keep her away from RonnieBrownTown... We don't need him creating 1,000 post threads on how to win her over.
More fuel: http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2009/07/24/pn.sixteen.year.old.strippers.cnn WTF?!?! Rhode Island allows 16-year-olds to perform in Strip Clubs and sell sex indoors. Keep your daughters out of Rhode Island.
Huh, the official age in Vietnam is, and I quote, "If their is grass on the field, play ball. If not, flip her over and play in the mud." Interesting policy writers they have there...
sex is 16/18 in DE for all but the state looks like this Delaware16. I wonder what that means. Is it 16? Or 18? The way I understand it the man has to be 16 and the woman 18 but why is there a "16" after Delaware? I don't know if I'm willing enough to try to find out.. edit holy cow look at this law in DE (2) Intentionally engages in sexual intercourse with another person, and the victim has not yet reached his or her eighteenth birthday, and the person is 30 years of age or older, except that such intercourse shall not be unlawful if the victim and person are married at the time of such intercourse; or ... wtf delaware. wtf.
Always important to read the footnotes: Of course, there are a lot of 18, 19, and 20 year-olds in Japan that look like they're 13 or 14 and vice-versa, so it's always a good idea to verify the person's age. That can be said for any country of course. And yes, my comments are targeted at the younger audience to keep them out of accidental trouble with someone they think is close to their age and not the 40-year-olds on the board.

I don't get the reason why it is FUNNY story. I have 3 daughters... It is not funny story. I would murder the guy who molested my daughter.
