I am looking for a DB of the age of consent per state/country. I found this list for the states in the USA.
- Is there an official database I can use for the USA?
- Are there any databases for other countries?

The UN publishes such as list for age of consent for marriage:
http://data.un.org/Data.aspx?d=GenderStat&f=inID:19
Note, the age of consent for sex is in many countries lower than consent for marriage. The UN publishes this as well, but I was not able to find it at the moment.

Wikipedia has tables for this. I just can't find from their references a single authoritative source. Google: wikipedia legal age of consent Commented May 6, 2014 at 16:53

Thanks but I need an official source since I am using it for a law related work.– 0x90Commented May 6, 2014 at 18:35
{ 12, 13, 14, 16 }... Maryland is more confusing, as there may not be a n age at which all sexual content is illegal ... if there's a 4 year difference, and one is under 14, it's illegal, if one is over 21 and one under 15, it's illegal. But as well as I understand the law, it's legal between a 12 & 13 year old in MD.
