You already posted "Im 17 (tomorow) and my boyfriend will be 21 in April. But we live in the UK so its ok. It depends on where you live." as an answer to another post. If you aren't sure that this statement is correct, you shouldn't post it as an answer, or you should at least say, "but I'm not sure."

It's been legal since you turned 16. But that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. He's a lot older than you if you're 17..

The UK law says that a person must be 16 or older to have consensual sex with someone of the opposite sex. So long as you are both 16 or older it is legal. You could be 16 and he could be 60 - it's still legal. In the UK.

That said, if you are also a citizen of another country you may need to check on the legalities in that country as they may enforce them even if you are not resident. Example - it may be legal to have sex at 13 in India, however if you travel to India from the UK and have sex with a 13 year old, you may be liable to prosecution in the UK under child sex tourism laws. So, while if you are both UK citizens and do not hold dual citizenship in another country then it is fine. But if you do hold dual citizenship or are only travelling in the UK on a foreign passport you may need to be aware of your own countries laws.

Yes it is illegal and make sure you don't have sex with him because he might go to prison for pedophilism
