Minors and Sexual Consent

Minors are individuals under the age of legal adulthood, typically 18 years old. Sexual consent refers to the agreement to engage in sexual activity. In many jurisdictions, minors cannot legally give consent due to their age, as they may lack the emotional and psychological maturity to understand the implications. Laws vary by location, but generally, adults engaging in sexual activities with minors can face serious legal consequences. It’s essential to respect these laws to protect minors from exploitation and harm. Understanding consent is vital for healthy relationships and personal boundaries at any age.
