Understanding Kansas Consent Laws

Summary

In Kansas, the age of consent is 16. However, exceptions apply if the older party is in a position of authority. If the act is consensual and the older party is not in a position of authority, it is generally legal. Parental consent is not required for sexual activity if both parties are above the age of consent.
