TotallyOz Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Each state in the USA has different Age of Consent laws. The world has many as well. In Brazil that age is 18 and is strictly enforced. When I was with a friend there recently, we were cruising through the park and he pointed out some guys that were 17 and said that no one will go with them as it is too dangerous even for someone close to their age. In Thailand, the Age of Consent is 15 BUT, for all practical purposes it is 18. Those 15-18 can have sex legally if there is no money involved but if it is a foreigner involved, it is assumed that money or favors is involved. Therefore, best to stay above the 18 rule. Spain was the surprising place at 13. Most countries were around the 16 year old range. http://www.ageofconsent.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted September 15, 2008 Members Share Posted September 15, 2008 So weird that if you have sex with Joey* in one place it is legal, but in another you are a pervert and have to register as a sex offender.** *Joey is a made up name for the purpose of this post. He is 16, except that he is not real. **Thankfully, I like them well into their 20's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted September 15, 2008 Members Share Posted September 15, 2008 I believe US law permits prosecution of any US citizen or resident alien for having sex with anyone under eighteen anywhere in the world, local laws notwithstanding.

BiBottomBoy Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Tampa, You are correct. That's why no matter where you are, it's best to make sure they are 18. Cock isn't worth going to prison over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotallyOz Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Yes, Americans are bound by both US and International law. Recently, GB also passed similar legislation. I am not sure how many other countries are doing the same. I do wonder if a California resident whose legal age of consent is 18 goes to say New York where it is 17, which law they must follow? If the USA does this Internationally, how long will it take for them to do it state by state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiBottomBoy Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 If you do it the other way around and talk the girl or guy into going to a state with a lower age of consent they can get you with federal law violations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
