Answer #1

Yes he could because you are under 16. Anyone under 16 can not “legally” consent to a sexual relationship. If you were over 16 but under 18 then there could not be more than a 2 year age difference between you.

He could be charged with statutory rape (with or without your parents consent) and…since there’s proof of you having sex…he would be convicted. He will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and he will have a hard time finding a job.

Answer #3

“In Pennsylvania, the age of consent for sexual relations is 16 years old. This applies across the board, to males and females, and to heterosexual as well as homosexual conduct.

Like many other states, Pennsylvania’s age of consent laws make allowances for adolescents who are under the age of consent, but close to the same age. Anyone between the ages of 13 and 16 can consent to have sex with anyone else who is no more than 4 years older.”
