Both my boyfriend and myself are currently 17. He is five months older than me. Are we in violation of consent laws if both of us are under the age of consent? And how often are pre-marital sex laws actually prosecuted?

It is illegal to have sexual conduct with any person under the age of 18 in Virginia. This includes minors who are both under the age of consent.

Age of consent laws are being prosecuted with frequency and regularity. There is both state-wide and nation-wide focus on this issue.
