>>15681773There are actually more states withe an AoC of 16 than 18 in USA. The stereotype of the AoC being universally 18 only exists because that´s the AoC in California, which is where the vast majority of USA enterteinment is produced.
A funny example of this is the House M.D. episode where House is stalked by 17 years old girl, at some point she says he only has to "wait two months, and anyone can do anything to me".The funny thing is, the AoC in New Jersey (where the show takes place) is 16, so she was already legal.
