Colorado Consent Laws Explained

Summary

In Colorado, the age of consent is 17. If a person is under 17, sexual activity can be considered statutory rape. If the 17-year-old consents, statutory rape charges typically do not apply. However, factors such as coercion, force, or a position of trust can still lead to charges. Pregnancy does not directly influence statutory rape charges but may be relevant in other legal contexts.

In Colorado, while the age of consent is *, there are factors that can influence charges:
- Coercion or Force: Any sexual activity involving coercion, force, or lack of consent can lead to charges, regardless of age.

- Position of Trust: If the older party holds a position of trust or authority over the younger party, charges may be applicable.

- Pregnancy: Pregnancy itself doesn't influence statutory rape charges but can be a factor in other legal considerations.
