I do believe the age of consent in Ohio is 16
[QUOTE=SevenInche;5610758]This is why no one trusts the media. If you just saw the local TV report they gave the impression the "victim" was a student. Age of consent is 17 but there are special rules for teachers where they're not allowed to touch even eighteen year olds because of their position. If it was a sting how it usually works is the decoy mentions being underage and the target accepts it. One guy on To Catch A Predator tried to bullshit the cops saying he thought that 13 was actually 18 because of bad eyesight. They weren't buying it.[/QUOTE][URL]https://legalbeagle.com/6503644-ohio-laws-minor-dating-adult.html[/URL]
"The age of consent in Ohio is 16, so 16- and 17-year-olds can legally engage in sexual conduct with an adult. However, an adult can still be convicted of statutory rape of a 16- or 17-year-old if he is in a position of power over the minor. Sexual conduct between a student and a teacher, or a student-athlete and a coach, would fall into this category.
Even if the relationship doesn't constitute an age-related offense, the adult could still be brought up on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor or interference with custody. The latter charge would come into play if, for example, the minor ran away from home to live with an adult significant other. ".
Stay safe.
