What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Missouri
I'm a 28 year old male and my girlfriend is 20. My girlfriend's mother is her legal guardian, because my girlfriend had rage/anger issues as a teenager. Is it illegal for me to engage in sexual activity with my girlfriend? She is not mentally disabled or with a learning disability.
Her mother told me that I could end up in prison if my girlfriend and I had sex, because she is my girlfriend's legal guardian. She made me feel very stupid and uneducated for not knowing this law. Truth is, the only thing I can find in my research so far is that the age of consent is 18. Is this a scare tactic from her mother or is there some proof/writing that states otherwise? What are the consequences?
