just out of curiosity:

just to recap: a goldilocks/romeo and juliet law is when two (usually teens) are both:

above the age of consent (my state is 16)

are within 3-4 years of age (depending on the specifics of the law)

they may have consensual sex that, in the eyes of the law, is treated the same as two people over 18. so for example, a 19 y/o and a 17 y/o having consensual sex would be legal under this type of law

they are often put in place with the idea that it will help people transition from high school to real life easier, especially relationship-wise.
