Would be 100% legal in OKC since Oklahoma’s age of consent is 16 and they have a 4 year Romeo and Juliet provision (most states have these provisions) which give some leeway if one person is under and the other over since it’d be silly for teenagers to have to break up when one of them hits legal age. California’s laws are draconian and frankly stupid in how lacking in nuance they are. By the letter of the law, anyone who has sex with someone under 18 is considered to have committed statutory rape even if that person is also under 18 because only the age of the victim matters. Basically, if two 17 year olds have sex then they’re technically both rapists. It doesn’t often get prosecuted unless there are other circumstances like a power dynamic (ie. teacher/student) or racist parents finding out that their daughter is dating a black guy. It’s ultimately up to the prosecutor to decide if they want to bring charges or not which is crazy in the state where everyone is technically a rapist.
