Terms of use

Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using Romeo And Juliet Law (“this site”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use this site.

Purpose of this website

This site publishes general educational and informational content about age-of-consent laws, Romeo and Juliet (close-in-age) exceptions, related state and federal statutes, and associated legal definitions. It exists as a reference resource, not as a source of legal advice or representation.

No legal advice

All content on this site is general educational information only. It is not legal advice and should not be treated as a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney familiar with the facts of your situation and the law of the relevant jurisdiction. See the full legal disclaimer for more detail.

No attorney-client relationship

Using this site, reading any page on it, or contacting us through it does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and this site, its operators, or any contributor.

Accuracy and changes in law

Age-of-consent statutes, close-in-age exceptions, and related laws are amended by state legislatures and Congress on an ongoing basis, and courts interpret them in ways not always reflected in statutory text alone. Information on this site may be outdated, incomplete, or incorrect at any given time. Always verify current law through an official government source, and consult a licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction before relying on it for a specific situation.

Use of hypothetical examples

Any example, scenario, or hypothetical fact pattern on this site is illustrative only. Examples are simplified to explain a general legal rule and do not predict how any real set of facts would be treated by a prosecutor, judge, or jury.
