What is the name of your state? SC
I have reviewed the SC laws and I am unclear on age of consent.
My son is being threatened with CSC. He is 20 and the girl is fourteen. Can he be prosecuted?
SECTION 16-3-655. Criminal sexual conduct with minors.
(2) A person is guilty of criminal sexual conduct in the second degree if the actor engages in sexual battery with a victim who is fourteen years of age or less but who is at least eleven years of age.
