Statutory rape laws, how strict?

What is the name of your state?
Michigan.

If an 18 year old male, and a 17 year old female (to turn 18 within the quarter) have consenting sex. Is it possible for the female (and her family) to go back on anything and go to court for 'statutory rape' upon him? Or do laws protect the male from being used as a curtsey for anger?

I know that some states of law difference ages, so 2 years and it would be legal after the age of consent (which is 16 with 'parent consent' in michigan).

Thanks

The parents can't do anything. But if the "GIRL" goes back (as you say) then it's not statutory rape you have to worry about...

Care to guess what's behind door number two?

Hm, that's not the worry with door number 2, more of a vengeful person.

Thanks for the information.

Just a strange question- Do any states still have "statutory rape" laws anymore? I'm asking because "convicted sex offenders" have been in the news so much and I wonder if someone who is convicted of "statutory rape" is considered to be a sex offender (have to register wherever they live, etc).
Thanks.
