Puerto Rico sets the age of consent at 14 and all 50 [[US]] states have age limits of '''16''', '''17''' or '''18'''. Most states have "close in age exemptions" which allow those under the age of consent to engage in sexual activity with teenagers close to their age (if the age difference between the partners is small, for example 3 or 4 years or if the older partner is younger than a specified age, ussually 18 or 21).
