What is the legal age of consent in West Virginia for dating for example if you're 17 and your boyfriend is 27?

There are no dating laws so that is up to the minors parents to decide unless dating means sex! Because there are laws regarding sex and the legal age to give consent for it. In WV the age of consent is 16 so that is legal as well. It's still the parents who decide who the minor is allowed to see though and they can try to report him due to the age difference. In that case a judge may or may not find that the age of consent should be 18.
