Reply #116: No statutory rape

[horseshoecrab]

Alaska - like many states - has the law set up so that the difference in years enters in. They're usually called by a name something like "Romeo and Juliet clauses." I think that Alaska is at least 3 years age difference before the possibility of statutory rape enters in.

examples:
A 17 year old girl and an 18 year old boy would not be subject to a statutory rape situation. A 15 year old girl and a 20 year old young man would be statutory rape.
