I'm not a West Virginia lawyer, but my research suggests that the "age of consent" in your state is 16.
If your contact with this young woman is the cause for criminal charges against you, an arrest or threatened criminal charges, please talk to a qualified defense attorney in your area. One place to find a lawyer is our website, http://attorneypages.com
