(Anonymous) 2012-01-17 02:48 am (UTC)(link)The age of consent in Illinois is 17. It is also illegal for a person to commit sexual acts on a person under the age of 18 if he/she has a position of authority or trust over the victim.
(720 ILCS 5/12-15) Sec. 12-15. Criminal sexual abuse. ...(c) The accused commits criminal sexual abuse if he or she commits an act of sexual penetration or sexual conduct with a victim who was at least 13 years of age but under 17 years of age and the accused was less than 5 years older than the victim.
Sec. 12-16. Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse. ...(d) The accused commits aggravated criminal sexual abuse if he or she commits an act of sexual penetration or sexual conduct with a victim who was at least 13 years of age but under 17 years of age and the accused was at least 5 years older than the victim.
"
A 17 and a 22 year old is fine. It's completely legal. 14 and 19 would still be illegal but the charges would be lowered because they are both minors; only the 19 year old would be charged.

edit: looked it up, with the exceptions of Pennsylvania (21), Nebraska (19), and Alabama (19), the age of majority in the US is 18, and federal law defines it as such in the legislation I could find. This is different from the age of consent, which is 16-18 depending on state, and most states do have an age gap clause intended to protect minors who are in established relationships before one of them reaches the age of consent. The span of these clauses seem to vary quite a bit, though, and are available on Wikipedia if you really need to know.
