Mississippi

so if im 20 and a female is 17 can there be a sexual relationship

If a 20 year old has a sexual relationship with a 17 year old, the 20 year old is not in violation of Mississippi Statutory Rape law § 97-3-65; however, there could still be other legal risks associated with this type of relationship due to the fact that most 17 year old's are still legally considered "minor's" under the legal control, authority and care of the parents. If the parents object to the relationship, they could take legal actions to prevent it.
