QUESTION
Could I be convicted of statutory rape in NJ?

More details to this question:
She is 16, and I am 19. We are obviously under 4 years apart. From what I read, I am protected from being convicted under NJ law. And yes, I am sure she is 16. I just wanted some confirmation. Thank you for your response!

The statute requires that there be 4 years difference in ages. If she is 15, then you have exposure. We just had this case and young man went to prison for 4 years. Ed Dimon
