My question involves criminal law for the state of: Alabama
I'm 22 years old and my potential girlfriend is 17 years old. I read somewhere that it's fine as long as there is no more that 5 years apart in age. My birthday is 1/7/93 and her's is 4/5/98. Does the 5 years go by D.O.B or year of birth? I'm confused. I'm asking because I'm currently enlisting into the Navy to support us and I don't wanna run into any legal troubles. I got a squeaky clean record and wanna keep it that way
