Confidence votes 42. The age of sexual consent in Georgia is 16. While it is not legal to have sex if you are not at least 16 years old, it is also illegal to have sex unless you are married in Georgia. It's called the fornication law and is a misdemeanor, and yes, people have been recently charged with it.
There are two separate statutes that someone having sex with a person under 18 years of age need to be concerned with. The first states that the age of consent is technically 16 as long as the older person in the relationship is not 60 months older than the 16 year old. Therefore, if 60 months older or more than a person under 17, the first statute is violated.
