It would not be statutory rape as 16 is the age of consent. Corruption of minors is theoretically possible. Assuming there is no sort of institutional relationship (teacher/student, coach/player, etc.), it is pretty unlikely.

Is it illegal to date a 16 year old when your 23?

Originally Answered: Should a 16 year old date a 23 year old? NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! At the age of 16, this person is still legally a minor, whereas at the age of 23 this person is considered as an adult.
