Please help me clear a few concerns that myself and my boyfriend have. I am a 17 year old female who is perusing a relationship with a 22 year old male. I live in the state of Indiana and don't fully know what risks I am putting him in. Is there a law against us having sexual contact? I understand that the age of consent in Indiana is 16, but I'm not sure if there is still a risk or not. I don't want him to go to jail and understand I should wait until I am 18, but we have been dating for sometime and if there is no legal stance as to why we would need to wait I don't see the reason to. I have had sexual partners before, but none that matter as much as this. Please help me to better understand what the law says about our relationship in the state of Indiana.
