what is the age of sexual consent in alabama
At least one state lawmaker says Alabama's current age of consent needs to go up. State Rep. Mac McCutcheon (R) of Capshaw is sponsoring House Bill 137, which would raise Alabama's age of consent from 16 to 18. McCutcheon told WHNT News 19 that the extra two years would help lower the number of child predators, while also cutting back teen pregnancy rates.
