The 'Age of Consent' laws I'm used to are complicated and simple at the same time. Age of Consent is 18, with a two-year leeway. If a 19-year-old has sex with a 17-year old it's okay. If a 20-year-old has sex with a 17-year-old it's not. That said, a friend of mine was briefly in a relationship with a 16-year-old girl, and got away with it. Why? Her mother gave permission - thought it would settle her down.

I was twenty; my fiance was eighteen. In fact I would have waited until we were married, even if that was another four or five years. I teased her that by California law at that time she could be tried for statutory rape, since the age of consent was 18 for women but 21 for men.
After we broke up I waited until I did get married, at age twenty-four.
