    Adult/Minor Question (16 and 18)
    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Minnesota

    Can I have sex with a 16-year-old girl if I'm 18 and 26 months older than her? According to this site I would have to be 48 months older than her if she's 16 or 17 to be charged with a crime, but according to this site I could be charged with third degree rape if she's 13-16 and I'm over 24 months older.

    I checked the age of consent laws at the top of the forum, but all they say is that the age of consent is 16, and I don't know how to interpret that.

    Thanks for any help.

    The second site you list relates to Connecticut, not Minnesota. Unless you're IN Connecticut, it doesn't apply.

    Best bet - set up an appointment with a lawyer and ask.
