Connecticut dating and statutory rape question
Connecticut
my boyfriend just turned 18 and i am turning 16 in 3 months. when i am 16, is it illegal for us to have sexual intercourse?
The statutory age of consent in Connecticut is 16. This means at the age of 16 a person can no longer become a victim of statutory rape.
When considering the legal aspect of the adult/minor relationship, it is important to consider the legal rights and authority of the minor's parents. When an adult (18 or older) is engaged in a sexual relationship with a minor who meets statutory requirments for consent, parents may have certain legal rights and authority to prevent it. No adult may interfere with the parents legal right to protect and maintain control of their minor child. There are other laws that can potentially impact the adult in the relationship.
Bottom line, communicatiion is important and parents should be advised (and agree) with the dating relationship.

I'm 14 years old,(about to be 15) and my boyfriend just turned 19. I'm living with my aunt, and she said she didn't mind us dating because she met him and everything. We both go to church and we don't do sexual things with eachother, he's really respectful about things like that, but I'm just wondering can he get in trouble for dating me even if we aren't having anytype of sex?
