I am never leaving the U.S., but I had no idea the age of consent in most countries was so low. I knew this was the case for a place like Japan, given they sexualize minors in anime all the time, but I didn't know this was common.

Is the U.S. really one of the few countries in the world where 18 years old is considered an adult, and anyone who has sex with someone under 18 is considered a pedophile and would face jail time?
