Age of Consent
* * * * * Age of Consent, explained - Criminal law, Lawyer Source

Age of Consent - Wikipedia

Mediaskeptic: Be advised that most Age of Consent sites may not be updated regularly and will not reflect changes in law, nor laws that restrict sex between a teacher and student, nor age differential laws, or other legal restrictions. For instance, the age of consent in Illinois is 17, but it increases to 18 when it involves someone in a position of authority. In North Carolina it is a felony for any teacher to have sex with a student irregardless of the age of the student. Etc.

Minor Laws
Dictionary by Labor Law Talk - - Minor, defined

Statutory Rape
Law.com Law Dictionary - Statutory Rape
Article by an attorney - Statutory Rape: Reporting Myths & Facts

Sexual Predator
Wikipedia - Sexual Predator, defined (in general terms)
Mediaskeptic: Every state defines the term differently. For instance, Florida - "Sexual predators, according to F.S. 775.21, The Florida Sexual Predators Act, are either repeat sexual offenders, sexual offenders who used physical violence, or sexual offenders who preyed on children."
Every state defines the term differently.


State Laws Vary
Georgia Definitions - From a law firm as a public service.
Kansas Definitions - From 'Lectric Law Library
The ultimate resource, of course, is always found in individual State Law Sites as they are the source and updated continuously to reflect current law.
