Can a 14 year old and 18 year old date in Montana?
We have been dating for about year and really
don’t wanna stop, we are not sexually active
and he’s only 17 currently. We are 3 years and
3 months apart and our parents know. So can
he get in trouble and if so how? Please take in
mind senate bill 26.

You can date any age person that you want. That having been said, if dating starts to consist of sex your boyfriend will have a problem since you are a minor. In MT, the age that a person can consent to have sexual activity is 16. Therefore, sexual intercourse with someone who is younger than 16 years old is illegal regardless of the age of the defendant. There are alos other staustes that apply to this situation. Here is a link to a site that will explain further: https://www.ageofconsent.net/states/montana
