statutory rape

Massachusetts

im 15 turning 16 next month and my bf is 17 weve been thinking about having sex but im not sure if im gonna be ready before he turns 18 and what if I was ready before I turned 18 like if I was 17 would my bf get arrested?

The statutory age of consent in Mass is 18. If you are under the age of 18 and engaged in sexual activities it is a violation of the law. If you are over age 18 and involved in sexual activities with someone under the age of 18 it is a violation of the law.

At the age of 17, there is great potential to be charged as an adult if arrested for this crime.
