The Connecticut Age of Consent is 16 years old. In the United States, the age of consent is the minimum age at which an individual is considered legally old enough to consent to participation in sexual activity. Individuals aged 15 or younger in Connecticut are not legally able to consent to sexual activity, and such activity may result in prosecution for statutory rape. You should read the statute below also. Finally, regardless of what the law says, don't you feel creepy that you have to even ask this question? What can a 20 year old have in common with a sophmore in high school. Despite the law, a 16 year old is a CHILD. Think about the impact you will have on those lives. Give it some good thought. Its a bad bad idea.
