age of consent

New Hampshire

A girl i know is 17. I'm 21 She wants to become sexually active. The only thing I'm worried about the the age difference. I don't mind waiting, but I'm wondering if its legal. Thanks for any help you give

According to the laws in the state of New Hampshire, a person can no longer be a victim of statutory rape after reaching the age of 16. However, until a person turns 18 years of age, they are considered a minor under the legal authority and control of their parent or guardian. it sounds a little crazy, but at 16, a person can legally consent to sexual intercourse; however, they can not enter into any legally binding contracts or become married without signed parental consent.

Hi my son is 17 and his girlfriend is 15. I just found out that they had sex once and I am not sure if the parents can take us to court or not for statutory rape. I don't believe so but need to know for sure.
