Is it legal in West Virginia for a 20 year old to date 17 old?

No, it is not legal in West Virginia for a 20-year-old to date a 17-year-old. The age of consent in West Virginia is 16, meaning that any sexual activity between a 20-year-old and a 17-year-old is considered statutory rape. Additionally, West Virginia has a Romeo and Juliet law, which provides an exception to the age of consent laws for certain relationships between minors. However, this exception does not apply to relationships between a 20-year-old and a 17-year-old.
