How long may a person go to jail for dating someone underage at 30 years old?
depends on the specific location… anywhere from no time to 10 years plus for first offense, if there are other convictions in the persons past that might contribute, the amount of jail time could grow significantly… the legal age of consent in both pennsylvania and delaware is 16. in pennsylvania, this would be a second degree felony – for a felony of the second degree, a fine of not less than $5,000 nor more than $25,000, or imprisonment not exceeding ten years, or both. in delaware, this would be a class c felony – for a class C felony up to 15 years in addition, if the acts involved transport between the two states or across state lines, federal laws have been broken which can add an additional 10-25 years to the sentence if convicted.
