Age of Consent Around the World The legal Age of Consent varies from 11 to 21 years old from country to country around the world. In some countries, there is no legal age of consent but all sexual relations are forbidden outside of marriage.
As far as the world goes with the age of consent, the US is among just a handful of countries who have the age at 18 years of age, most other countries have a lower age. In Canada for example, the legal age for sexual relations is 16 years of age. Many of us here in the US would be surprised to know that many states have a lower age of consent than the standard 18 years. Two thirds of US states have an age of consent at 16 years of age, many with certain restrictions. I suspect Jared Fogle is in more hot water for the $100.00 payment for sex to the 16 year old girl than her age since in Indiana, the age of consent is 16.
