Age of Consent
The arbitrary age, assigned by legislators, that define the legal time at which a person may consent voluntarily to sexual activity with another person.

QUESTION:
I have looked at the chart and seen that the age of consent for MI is 16. I also have read the actual writings of the laws and the degrees of them. But I did not find on there or anywhere on here anything relating to sex between adults and minors (those above 18 with those below) or is it that the laws presented apply to all people of that state regardless of age? I saw that the question was asked several times in the \"letters received\" area, but I could not find you site\'s answer. In addition perhaps a FAQ section would be a nice addition to your page to answer such questionsthat arise regularly. Thank you and I hope you have the time to respond, a site worth its bandwidth.

ANSWER:
The age shown in the chart is the age at which one person may legally consent to sexual intercourse with another person who is at least that age or older, provided that there are no ties between them (ie: one is not in a position of trust or responsibility over the other).

NEW DEFINITION FROM HISTORY: Source: http://www.mc3.edu/gen/faculty/barmstro/devlin.html
The Age of Consent law is \" ... is to protect young girls against themselves ... \"
So if you are female, then you should read this as an insult. According to Judges when instructing juries -- you don\'t
know how to make up your own mind - and to make your own decisions. Is that what we really want to communicate
to young girls these days?
