In law, a child or young person below the age of 18 is classed as a minor but in some cases, the law might say that a minor is under the age of 16. Age of consent for sexual intercourse: It is legal for two people of the opposite or same sex to have a sexual relationship if both of them are aged 16 or over and both of them consent.
The law recognizes that children are developmentally not able to make decisions about some things, including when to engage in sexual behaviors. Laws vary by state, but a common age of consent is 16. Engaging in sexual behaviors with someone under the age of consent is illegal and will be treated as criminal sexual conduct.
