First, you can Google the name of your state and “age of consent law” for more information specific to the laws in your state. You also can click here to find out more about the age of consent law in your state. Since your son is actually facing charges, we suggest you speak to a local criminal defense attorney about this if he was not already appointed a public defender. Many attorneys offer a free initial consultation. Good luck to you and your son. (Check our Teen Help Network for more help and resources in your area. This is information only – not legal advice.)
