what is the age of consent for a minor in arizona?
Best Answer: The age of consent in Arizona is 18. Contrary to what was stated in another answer, Arizona DOES have a close-in-age exception. The close-in-age exception provides that a person under age 19 can have consensual sex with someone who's at least 15 years old, provided they're within 24 months of age.
Kollin is wrong about the age of consent; About 20% of the states set the age at 17, but Arizona is not one of them. Arizona is among the roughly 20% of U.S. states that places the age of consent at 18. This means that if you are under 18, you are underage and sex with you is a crime. Some states have what are called Romeo & Juliet laws or close-in-age exemptions for people who are younger than the state age of consent but are within a certain age range.
