The legal age of consent in Colorado is seventeen (17). This means that a person 17 years of age or older may consent to have sexual intercourse with any other person, regardless of age.

Can a 20 year old date 16?

No, its not against the law for a 20 year old to DATE a 16 year old. The definition of date means to go out together to a movie or to dinner or dance. It does not mean having sex regular or oral.

Is it weird for a 17 to date 21?

Yes, so long as the relationship is not sexual. If they have sexual intercourse, the 21-year-old can face criminal charges for statutory rape if they are not married. The prohibition on sexual activity makes California different from many other states. California does not have a “Romeo and Juliet” law.
