I don’t think there is a state with laws that criminalize that situation (age disparity of 6 months). If you know of one, would you let me know?

States where the age of consent is sixteen. That’s how the law is interpreted unless there are exceptions for age differences among teens.

Would you let me know of a state which makes distinctions for a few months above or below age of consent. I think you’ll find that the law is strictly written, but the prosecutors have broad discretion as to what to enforce and how strictly.
