"Being with" someone that is 17 is NEVER rape. There would have to be sexual intercourse.

If the 17 year old is under the legal custody or supervision of a state agency, a federal agency, a county, a municipality or a political subdivision and engages in sexual intercourse with the 27 year old who is a state, federal, county, municipal or political subdivision employee or an employee of a contractor of the state, the federal government, a county, a municipality or a political subdivision that exercises authority over the victim; or where the 17 year old is a student, or under the legal custody or supervision of any public or private elementary or secondary school, junior high or high school, or public vocational school, and engages in sexual intercourse with the 27 year old who is an employee of the same school system....then you are guilty of 2nd degree rape. If it doesn't meet any of this, then it is legal.
