The law recognizes the power disparity between children and adults and presumes that when the child is of a certain age, say, between 12 and 14, and the other party is more than three years older, that the child is legally incapable of consenting to have sex. More than anything, its a policy decision.

That said, I'd think that it would be the ultimate wet dream fantasy of a 12 year old male to have sex with his young, attractive female teacher.

The applicable statute is below. In Washington, Rape of A Child in the Second degree is a Class A Felony.

RCW 9A.44.076

Rape of a child in the second degree.

(1) A person is guilty of rape of a child in the second degree when the person has sexual intercourse with another who is at least twelve years old but less than fourteen years old and not married to the perpetrator and the perpetrator is at least thirty-six months older than the victim.

(2) Rape of a child in the second degree is a class A felony.


Under the statute, a 15-year-old could be guilty of the crime if he or she had intercourse with a 12 year old.
