Jacob Sullum|Jun. 28, 2013 4:16 pm. This week the Ohio House of Representatives unanimously approved a bill ostensibly aimed at fighting human trafficking that makes it a crime to solicit a legal act: sex with someone who is 16 or 17 years old. The age of consent in Ohio is 16. Yet under H.B. 130, a 20-year-old who asks a 16-year-old to have sex with him, or a 21-year-old who does the same with a 17-year-old, thereby commits a fifth-degree felony, punishable by six to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine. He also has to register as a sex offender.
Age of Consent. Age of Consent, in law, the age when persons are considered to be fully bound by their words and deeds. The age of consent varies for different actions. For example, one has the right to consent to marriage at an earlier age than one may legally sign a contract. In most of the U.S. one acquires the legal capacity to conclude a contract at the age of 18. A boy at age 14 and a girl at age 12, however, are capable of matrimonial consent under common law, but again U.S. state statutes differ on the age of consent.
