Can a 22-year-old man go to jail for having sex with a 17-year-old girl in Maryland?

Not if it was consensual. If she claims rape, that is not statutory.

The age of consent in Maryland is 16. By why are you messing with a girl that young? Do her parents know you are seeing her?

I'm with Homegirl, why are you even interested in a 16 year old girl?

The girl is 17, not 16, and we don't even know if the poster is him, her, a parent, or someone just asking.

My bad, I had 16 on the brain with the consent law thing. I agree, who knows who it is.
