Hello,
.
The Age of Consent is the age at which a person is deemed by Indiana law to be capable of consenting to, and engaging in, sexual acts. Anyone who engages in sexual activity of any type with a partner under the applicable Age of Consent is breaking the law and can be charged with crimes ranging from a misdemeanor to a felony (statutory rape) depending on the jurisdiction in which they are prosecuted.
.
The age of consent in Indiana is 16 years old. So no law would be violated in this situation as long as it was consensual.
