If you are 16 and your boyfriend is 20 is it illegal to date in Maryland?
In Maryland, the age of consent is 16, so it is not illegal for a 16-year-old to date a 20-year-old. However, sexual activity between a 16-year-old and a 20-year-old may be considered illegal if it is not consensual or if there is an abuse of power involved. It is always important to ensure that any relationship is healthy, consensual, and respectful.
