Original Note:
Statutory rape is illegal in all States (age of consent and wording of legislation varies) https://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com/resources/criminal-defense/sex-crimes/statutory-rape-charges-punishment-defense However in States where child marriage is legal, the lack of practical application of said statutory rape laws gives tacit legality (aka protection from prosecution). https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/marriage-age-by-state https://www.unchainedatlast.org/laws-to-end-child-marriage/
