So unless you're in a "position of power," like the girl's coach or teacher, you can safely bang away any 16-year-old and older that you want. No jail. You might have to box out her dad someday, however, lol...
I suggest you actually read the specific laws of the state, and then read the federal laws concerning age of consent.
State laws usually make 16 legal as long as you are under 20 or 24.
The "land of the free" has it at 18 for all 50 states by federal statute and you as an American are legally obliged to observe that 18 age of consent regardless of what country you happen to be in...
They aways have an angle to charge you on if she's under 18.
So don't fall for that.
That's more of an issue if you're crossing state lines specifically for a sexual encounter, or leaving the country to do the same.
Otherwise, if it's in the state you reside in, jurisdiction will fall to the state. If you want to 100% cover you A-S-S, though, yeah, better not mess with anything under 18.
