Under New York's Penal Law article 130, a person less than 17 years old is deemed incapable of consent (Penal Law 130.05(3)(a)), and the sex offenses are tiered by the victim's age (under 11, 13, 14, 15 and 17) and, in most tiers, the actor's age (18 or 21).
To report a concern: if a child is in immediate danger, call 911.

This page covers New York's criminal statutes on sexual offenses involving minors, mainly Penal Law article 130 and related Penal Law articles, and the registration statutes in Correction Law article 6-C. Federal law is summarized on the age of consent laws by state hub. The text below was read on the official New York State Senate legislation site through a text renderer, because direct requests were blocked, and the snapshots were dated between September 25 and September 29, 2026.
This page describes the main age-based sexual offense statutes. Other New York statutes also protect minors, and one of them can apply even where none of the offenses described here does.
How New York law protects minors by age
New York's offenses turn on three variables: the victim's age, the actor's age, and the type of sexual contact. Since September 1, 2024, article 130 defines rape by vaginal, oral or anal sexual contact.
| Victim's age | Actor | Offense | Provision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 11 | Any age | Rape in the first degree (class B) | 130.35 |
| Under 13 | 18 or older | Rape in the first degree (class B); predatory sexual assault against a child (class A-II) | 130.35; 130.96 |
| Under 11; under 13 | Any age; 21 or older | Sexual abuse in the first degree (class D) | 130.65 |
| Under 14 | Any age | Sexual abuse in the second degree (class A misdemeanor) | 130.60(2) |
| Under 15 | 18 or older | Rape in the second degree (class D) | 130.30 |
| Under 17 | 21 or older | Rape in the third degree (class E) | 130.25(4) to (6) |
| Under 17 | Any age | Sexual misconduct (class A misdemeanor) | 130.20; 130.05(3)(a) |
| Under 17 | Any age | Sexual abuse in the third degree (class B misdemeanor) | 130.55 |
Under 13
Penal Law 130.35 makes rape in the first degree a class B felony where the person engages in vaginal, oral or anal sexual contact with another person "who is less than eleven years old" or "who is less than thirteen years old and the actor is eighteen years old or more." Section 130.96 makes predatory sexual assault against a child a class A-II felony where the actor is 18 or older, commits rape in the first degree, aggravated sexual abuse in the first degree, or course of sexual conduct against a child in the first degree, and the victim is less than 13.
For sexual contact, section 130.65 makes sexual abuse in the first degree a class D felony "when the other person is less than eleven years old" or "when the other person is less than thirteen years old and the actor is twenty-one years old or older." Section 130.60(2) makes sexual abuse in the second degree a class A misdemeanor where the person subjected to sexual contact is less than 14 years old.
Under 15
Penal Law 130.30 makes rape in the second degree a class D felony where the actor, "being eighteen years old or more," engages in vaginal sexual contact with another person "less than fifteen years old," and the section covers oral and anal sexual contact in the same way in its other subdivisions.
Under 17
Penal Law 130.25 makes rape in the third degree a class E felony where the actor, "being twenty-one years old or more," engages in vaginal sexual contact with another person "less than seventeen years old" (subdivisions 4 to 6 cover vaginal, oral and anal sexual contact). Section 130.05(3)(a) provides that a person is deemed incapable of consent when "less than seventeen years old." Section 130.20 (sexual misconduct) is a class A misdemeanor, and section 130.55 makes sexual abuse in the third degree a class B misdemeanor.
Custodial settings and other provisions
New York's incapacity provisions in Penal Law 130.05(3)(e) to (k) apply at any age to persons in listed custodial and treatment settings, such as state or local correctional custody, residential care committed to the Office of Children and Family Services where the actor is an employee, health or mental-health treatment, certain state-licensed residential facilities, police custody, and local probation supervision. Course of sexual conduct against a child, described below, addresses repeated conduct with a child under 13.
Other New York statutes that protect minors
The following additional statutes apply to minors and can apply even where none of the offenses above does.
- Course of sexual conduct against a child. Penal Law 130.75 (first degree, class B) applies where, over a period of not less than three months, an actor 18 or older engages in two or more acts of sexual conduct, including at least one act of vaginal, oral, anal or aggravated sexual contact, with a child less than 13, and its other paragraph addresses a child less than 11. Section 130.80 (second degree, class D) applies, over a period of not less than three months, to two or more acts of sexual conduct with a child less than 11, or by an actor 18 or older with a child less than 13.
- Aggravated sexual abuse. Section 130.66 (third degree, class D) applies where the person is less than 11, or less than 13 and the actor is 18 or older. Section 130.67 (second degree, class C) and section 130.70 (first degree, class B) apply where the person is less than 11.
- Incest. Incest in the first degree (section 255.27, class B) and in the second degree (section 255.26, class D) apply where a person commits rape in the first degree against a child less than 11, or less than 13 by an actor 18 or older (130.35), or rape in the second degree (130.30), against a person the actor knows to be an ancestor, descendant, brother or sister of the whole or half blood, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece, whether through marriage or not. Incest in the third degree (section 255.25, class E) covers marrying or engaging in vaginal, oral or anal sexual contact with such a relative and has no age element.
- Sexual performance by a child. Section 263.05 (use of a child less than 17, class C), section 263.15 (promoting, class D) and section 263.16 (possessing, class E, sexual conduct by a child less than 16); sections 263.10 and 263.11 cover promoting (class D, child less than 17) and possessing (class E, child less than 16) an obscene sexual performance by a child, and 263.30 covers facilitating a sexual performance by a child less than 17 with a controlled substance or alcohol (class B). Section 235.21(3) (second degree, class E) covers using a computer communication system to initiate or engage in a communication harmful to minors with a minor.
- Indecent material and luring. Section 235.22 covers disseminating indecent material to minors in the first degree, where a minor is any person less than 17 (class D). Section 120.70 covers luring a child less than 17 (class E, with a higher class where the intended offense is a class A or class B felony).
- Prostitution offenses. Section 230.05 and related sections 230.06 and 230.11 to 230.13 cover patronizing a person for prostitution where the person is less than 11, 13, 15 or 17, most with an actor-age condition of 18 or 21. Section 230.34-a covers sex trafficking of a child by an actor 21 or older where the child is less than 18 (class B). Promoting prostitution also turns on age: 230.25(2) (a person less than 19, class D), 230.30(2) (less than 18, class C) and 230.32 (less than 13, or less than 15 where the actor is 21 or older, class B); section 230.33 makes compelling a person less than 18 to engage in prostitution by force or intimidation, by an actor 18 or older, a class B felony.
- Endangering the welfare of a child. Section 260.10 covers knowingly acting in a manner likely to be injurious to the physical, mental or moral welfare of a child less than 17 (class A misdemeanor). See also New York sexting laws.
How the age-difference provisions work
Two sections contain age-difference provisions written as affirmative defenses. Section 130.30 states that "it shall be an affirmative defense to the crime of rape in the second degree as defined in subdivisions one, two and three of this section that the defendant was less than four years older than the victim at the time of the act." Section 130.55 states that in a prosecution for sexual abuse in the third degree, it is an affirmative defense that the other person's lack of consent was due solely to incapacity to consent by reason of being less than 17, the other person was more than 14, and the defendant was less than five years older.
The Correction Law registration provisions state no separate close-in-age exclusion.
Penalties
New York sets determinate sentences for violent felonies under Penal Law 70.02 and for felony sex offenses under 70.80. Post-release supervision is set by 70.45, and fines for a felony may not exceed the higher of $5,000 or double the defendant's gain (80.00).
| Offense | Class and sentence as stated |
|---|---|
| Rape in the first degree (130.35); course of sexual conduct, first degree (130.75); aggravated sexual abuse, first degree (130.70); sex trafficking of a child (230.34-a) | Class B violent felony: determinate term of at least 5 and not more than 25 years; post-release supervision of 5 to 20 years for a class B violent felony sex offense (sex trafficking of a child is not a felony sex offense under 70.80) |
| Predatory sexual assault against a child (130.96) | Class A-II felony: maximum life; minimum not less than 10 nor more than 25 years |
| Sexual abuse in the first degree (130.65); rape in the second degree (130.30); course of sexual conduct, second degree (130.80); aggravated sexual abuse, third degree (130.66) | Class D violent felony: determinate term of at least 2 and not more than 7 years; post-release supervision of 3 to 10 years |

Sex offender registration
Under Correction Law 168-a, the definition of a sex offender includes convictions under Penal Law 120.70, 130.20, 130.25, 130.30, 130.60, 230.34, 230.34-a, 255.25, 255.26, 255.27 and article 263, patronizing offenses under 230.04 (where the person patronized is less than 17), 230.05, 230.06 and 230.11 to 230.13, promoting and compelling offenses under 230.30(2), 230.32 and 230.33 and under 230.25 where the person prostituted is less than 17, and 235.22. A conviction under 130.55 counts where the victim is less than 18. The "sexually violent offense" list includes 130.35, 130.65, 130.66, 130.67, 130.70, 130.75, 130.80, 130.95 and 130.96. Endangering the welfare of a child under 260.10 is not listed in 168-a, and the risk level of an offender is set by risk assessment and not by offense.
Under Correction Law 168-h, registration verification is annual for 20 years from the initial registration for a level one offender who has no designation, and annual for life for level two and level three offenders and for sexual predators, sexually violent offenders and predicate sex offenders. Under 168-o, a level two offender who is not designated and who has been registered for at least 30 years may petition the sentencing court for relief. The statute text controls.
Recent changes
Chapter 777 of the Laws of 2023, as amended by chapter 23 of the Laws of 2024, redefined rape by vaginal, oral or anal sexual contact and folded the former criminal sexual act offenses into the rape degrees, effective September 1, 2024. The age thresholds of 11, 13, 15 and 17 and the actor-age conditions of 18 and 21 were not changed. The chapter law pages were not re-opened for this check, and the current section text read is consistent with them. Bills introduced in 2025 that touch article 130 (Assembly bills A490, A6230 and A6214) were shown as in Assembly committee and have not been enacted. The official text of sections 263.10, 263.11, 263.15 and 263.16 shows a 2025 revision that includes a performance "created or altered by digitization as defined in section 245.15." Penal Law 130.65-a (aggravated sexual abuse in the fourth degree, class E) applies where the other person is incapable of consent by reason of some factor other than being less than 17, so it does not turn on age.
How to report
If a child is in immediate danger, call 911. The New York State Office of Children and Family Services child protective services page lists a statewide toll-free telephone number of 1-800-342-3720 (TDD/TTY 1-800-638-5163). The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453, call or text) and the NCMEC CyberTipline (report.cybertip.org or 1-800-843-5678) are also available.
