The Romeo and Juliet Law in Ohio.

Where fore art thou?  This is not about where, but rather what.  What is the Romeo and Juliet Law?  Very simply, it is designed to prevent the prosecution of underage couples who engage in consensual sex when both participants are very close in age to each other, but one or both are below the age of consent.

So, what is the age of consent in the State of Ohio?  It is currently 16.  Someone who has passed their 16th birthday can consent to have sex with another individual no matter what their age difference is.  Now here is an interesting caveat… Ohio's age of consent law currently only applies to heterosexual encounters.

Whether you agree with the above or not, it is the law pure and simple.  Sex crime defense attorney Jon Sinn is determined to defend it.  No matter what your peers may think, the only sin you may have committed is NOT calling Jon.  If you or a loved one is involved in any type of sex crime call attorney Jon Sinn in Akron at (330) 431-0160.
