Until then, the parents pretty much control their life, including whom they date. Exceptions are Alabama & Nebraska (19), and District of Columbia & Mississippi (21). There are people in prison based on false accusations.Ī person becomes an adult at the age of majority, which in most states is 18. Then there is always the problem of he-said/she-said. These are generally true even if both people are under the age of consent. Touching private parts (either party, even through clothes) if either is under the age of consent = big problem Images of minor (<18) that are sexually explicit = big problem Sexting with a minor (<18) = big problem Kissing (lip to lip - no private parts) = not a problem Sneaking out with minor in violation of parents’ wishes = problem
