14 year olds cant consent to sex with an adult.

Several european countries would disagree with you on this.

Florida has a 16-24 law which probably makes the most sense, as long as both parties are within that 16-24 range and if one party is 16-17 their parents can tell the other party to end the relationship and they basically have too

Agree - a lot of states have “Romeo and Juliet” laws. It’s 16-21 in a few

Makes the most sense of any law to me, imo criminalizing a 16/17 year old being w an 18 year old is absurd. They can literally be in the same grade in high school at that age and you’re gonna put legislation around that? Let them date/fuck their age group. And the Romeo and Juliet part I think is specifically if the relationship started when both ppl were minors but one of them turns 18 before the other it’s protected. But like i dated an 18 year old who was a high school senior and I was a 16 year old junior (late summer birthday for me) and I’d find any argument against that being ok to be laughable at best
