If the defendant is less than 4 years older than the victim, it can be an affirmative defense to this crime. It is considered a D felony, which is punishable by 7 years in prison.
Statutory Rape in the 3rd Degree is defined as having intercourse with a victim that is less than 17 years of age when the defendant is 21 years of age or older. This crime is an E felony, punishable by up to 4 years in prison.
The media is getting out of pocket with these allegations, portraying it as forcibly having sex with a minor when a young freak that throws herself at you is dusted off. I have seen young freaks, throw themselves at older men.
