Ecuador Age of Consent & Sex Laws Age of Consent in Ecuador

What is the Ecuador Age of Consent?

The Age of Consent in Ecuador is 14 years old. The age of consent is the minimum age at which an individual is considered legally old enough to consent to participation in sexual activity. Individuals aged 13 or younger in Ecuador are not legally able to consent to sexual activity, and such activity may result in prosecution for statutory rape or the equivalent local law.

Ecuador statutory rape law is violated when an individual has consensual sexual contact with a person under age 14. Adults who use deceit to gain the consent of a minor under age 18 can be prosecuted.


Because there is no close-in-age exemption in Ecuador, it is possible for two individuals both under the age of 14 who willingly engage in intercourse to both be prosecuted for statutory rape, although this is rare. Similarly, no protections are reserved for sexual relations in which one participant is a 13 year old and the second is a 14 or 15 year old.
