-Sources say no, but the above citation says actor is guilty of violation if, being at least 21, he has intercourse with someone younger than 17.+New York uses the concept of "incapacity to consent" for the layman's term of "statutory rape" and believes a difference in age of at least four years is significant. In 130.25, 3rd-degree Rape, the ages are at least 21 and less than 17. And, for 130.30, 2nd-degree Rape, the ages are at least 18 and less than 15. It states it is an affirmative defense if there is less than a four-year age difference. See:\\
