Age of Consent for Sex in WI
Sixteen and seventeen year olds can legally have sex in WI if they are married to one another with the permission of their parents. Otherwise, sexual contact is usually a misdemeanor carrying up to a maximum of nine months of jail time and a ten thousand dollar fine. It is a major felony if either participant is under the age of sixteen, normally resulting in prison time. You should consult with your own attorney before acting upon any comments in online forums, since these comments are not intended as legal advice.
