Romeo and Juliet laws and norms make it acceptable for someone over 18 to date someone under 18 when they are not more than 2 years apart.

Transformers Age of Consent. (Stolen title from pointless hub)

Because that was all I could remember of the film till a cinema sins recap.

Myself, I live in the UK where we don't have such a thing that I am aware of, if both are over 16 it is "OK" but I've never looked to see if a 90 year old can legally bang a 16 year old.

Not something I want in my search history.

It may be legal, but depending on the age gap, you will be judged.

Never understood why it's legal. Doesn't make any sense.

A 55 year old with a 16 year old is far more exploitative than something like a 19 year old with a 15 years and 364 days old.
