While the Arizona age of consent is 18 years old, the law does have special rules for minors between the ages of 15 and 19 years old. Known as the Romeo and Juliet law, it allows for consensual sex between two young partners between the ages of 15 and 19, so long as they are not more than 2 years apart in age.

Can a 16 year old date a 19 year old in Arizona?

The age of consent means that no one under the age of 18 can legally consent, at all. If you are in your 20s and your partner is under 18, even if they consent to sexual contact with you, it is illegal. If a court charges you, they will charge you with statutory rape. More than likely, it will be a felony charge.
