I forgot to say - my husband was 19 when I met him...
One more ping... :)
I did a quick google search for Statutory rape laws. The following link contains laws for all 50 states. It seems that in most states the age of consent is 16. Also, many of the laws do talk about age gaps - like if one is 4 years older, and harsher laws depending on the age of the person who was raped as well...
Anyway, here is the link:
