Question 11 • AR-Health and Wellness

Which statement describes legal aspects of sexual behavior?

Answer
A
The age of consent is 15 years in most states.
B
Having sex before marriage is illegal in many states.
C
Violating consent laws can lead to charges of statutory rape.
D
Violators of consent laws do not have to register as sex offenders.

Explanation

Consent laws set a minimum age at which a person can legally agree to sexual activity. Sexual activity with someone below that age may lead to statutory rape charges, so C is correct. The age of consent is not 15 in most states, and violating consent laws can also carry sex-offender registration requirements depending on the circumstances and jurisdiction.
