It is a crime for an 18-year-old to have sex with a 15-year-old, whether she consented or not. You can be prosecuted for it if the D.A. can prove that it happened and if the limitations period has not expired. In order to win a conviction, the D.A. will have to prove not only that the two of you had sex while she was underage but also that it occurred within his jurisdiction.
