Which sentence is TRUE about having sexual intercourse with a minor?

Sexual activity with someone below the age of consent can be treated as statutory rape, even if the minor agrees. Laws and penalties vary by location, but parental permission generally does not override age-of-consent laws. A person may also face sex-offender registration, and removing that status is not necessarily easy. Therefore, the true statement is “Sex with a minor can lead to rape charges.”
