In Canada, where the age of consent is 16, a conviction for statutory rape, an equivalent charge to Indiana’s child molesting, would carry a sentence of a minimum of one year in prison up to a maximum of 14 years under the criminal code if tried as an indictable offence, per Toronto lawyer Jeffrey I. Reisman. If tried as a summary offence, the minimum jail time is 90 days and the maximum is two years less a day.
