  • American Dad!:
    • In "Faking Bad", Bullock tells Stan that he almost slept with a seventeen-year-old due to her fake ID, but her father burst in at the last moment and then "fell on all those bullets coming out of my gun".
• Two Words: Added Emphasis

  • May–December Romance: Her mother's dialogue in Season 3 heavily implies that Siobhan was still underage when she hooked up with her late husband. This pissed-off Siobhan's mother so much that she killed him.
• Thank You
  • Jail Bait: While she on patrol, some guy hits on Momo: he quickly backs down when she tells him her age.
• Age of Consent
  • Jail Bait: Ma Ryan screeches that Cora is underage and that she will sic the police on Bradley. The potential creepiness of this onscreen is somewhat lessened by the fact that curvaceous Helen Mirren is not at all convincing as a teenaged girl.
• Série noire
  • Sex for Services: The woman Franck sells a bathrobe to at the beginning offers to pay him with an "intimate moment" in the company of her 16 year old niece Mona... Franck follows Mona in her room, then she completely undresses right in front of him. Probably feeling a Jail Bait due to her age (and being married at this point), Franck quickly has her dress up again and lectures her.
• Funny.Honest Trailers 2015 Episodes
  • In The Stinger, the narrator realizes something... awkward, to say the least:
    Narrator: That Jasmine is so hot, right guys? May be the hottest Disney Princess ever. Well, guess what? She's fifteen years old. [shows a line on her Wikipedia page that says she's a few days short of her 16th birthday, and Genie doing a Jaw Drop] Don't you feel gross now? Well, at least it's OK for Aladdin to— [shows a line from his Wikipedia page that says that he's eighteen] Uh-oh.
• Funny.The Cinema Snob 2015 Episodes
  • When Reagan's first scene shows her tapdancing with a knotted shirt with no bra and short shorts.

    • Ligeia complains that being a vampire with the body of a sixteen year old means that the only guys interested in her are immature teenagers and creepy older guys who are into jail bait.
• Radar.Video Games
  • In Ace Attorney Investigations, presenting Kay with the "Badger Hunt" flyer while investigating the Kidnappers' Hideout leads into a conversation over the prize for the hunt:
  Kay: I'm going to snap a shot of all those badgers and win that grand prize!
  Edgeworth: What IS this "grand prize" anyway?
  Kay: I think it's a notepad in the shape of handcuffs...or was it a set of handcuffs in the shape of a notepad...?
  Edgeworth: Either one seems useless to me. (I guess I can see her having a use for a notepad, but I can't see when she'll ever need a set of handcuffs...that is, not for another year at the least.)^note Kay's 17.
  Kay: ...?
• Recap.Buffy The Vampire Slayer S 3 E 15 Consequences
  • Two Words: Added Emphasis: Wes is quite taken with Cordy, describing her "cheeky," but Faith deflates him by commenting, "Uh, first word: jail; second word: bait."
• Recap.The Sopranos S 1 E 3 Denial Anger Acceptance
  • Jail Bait: Brendan openly flirts with both Meadow and Hunter, who are high school seniors at the time, which Christopher and Adriana strangely don’t seem to have a problem with. Lampshaded by Carmela, who makes it clear she finds this scummy and inappropriate.

• Fille Fatale
  • Where some will focus solely on their peers, others want actual grown men and will proceed to seduce one. She may well initiate a Teacher/Student Romance plot. This, of course, has much bigger implications for the adult in question—who is very liable for a sacking at best (if he's a teacher), with a statutory rape charge being more common (depends on jurisdiction, though).
• Really 17 Years Old
  • When it's about sex, the age boundary is virtually always 18 (at least in American media) due to Hollywood Provincialism, even though most of the USA allows it as young as 16. ^note Though in a few states (with 16 or 17 as the age of consent) it may still be murky area because charges like "corruption of a minor" would still apply.
• 13 Going on 30
  • Jail Bait: Jenna (in her adult body) foolishly flirts with a kid rather than the adult man who just winked at her. She is instantly pulled away by Lucy, who lampshades this trope.
  Lucy: Do you want to go jail? I meant that guy!
  Jenna: The man? Oh, gross!

• Love Makes You Evil
  • Lifetime movie Stalked At 17 flirts between this and Love Makes You Crazy. Chad, a twenty-two-year-old college student, becomes obsessed with his sixteen/seventeen-year-old girlfriend, Angela, when she reveals that she's pregnant. When Angela's parents find out about her pregnancy and the father of their grandchild, they try to create some distance. This doesn't set well for Chad as he starts to stalk them and tries getting in contact with them. His Yandere levels go through the roof when he tries attacking Angela's father for getting a restraining order against him. He even turns to his mother, who was recently released from prison, for help on kidnapping Angela and their newborn son so that they can be a family together.

• Archie Comics
  • Jail Bait: Somewhat has unfortunate implications in the sense that grown men have discussed how hot Betty and Veronica are for years, but in every incarnation, they're never older than 17. At least they're drawn as busty, curvy grown women and not obviously meant as pedo-bait.^note  Please note that the age of consent in New York (where Archie Comics is based) is 17, and in much of the rest of the United States, it's 16. (basically, one must remember that California's strict consent laws don't apply to the rest of the world or even the rest of America) Made a bit understandable in the case of people who grew up reading the comics. Betty and Veronica started out as a Precocious Crush for many young boys.
• Über
  • Jailbait: After the reveal that Siegfried was actually 14 years old despite looking like a grown man because of his enhancements, it makes Sieglinde's shame about having sex with him (because he was the only candidate available who wouldn't be killed by her super strength) even more understandable.
• Bella Dancerella
  • Jail Bait: Obviously not invoked on the DVD, but the number of men searching to find out who "Bella" really was is evident in searching online for "Bella Dancerella Actress Name".
    • One Yahoo Questions asks "What is Bella Dancerella's real name?" the only person who answered said "Pervert."
• Hick
  • Jail Bait: Luli, again. To disturbing levels. Basically, we have a character who spends the entire movie oozing sexuality, from her sultry demeanor, her propensity to dress like a backwoods hooker to her shameless manipulation of men much older than she. If she was in her twenties, it would be sexy on a Sharon-Stone-in-Basic Instinct level. But she's 13 and doesn't look any older. To say it makes your skin crawl is an understatement (it might not help that Chloë Grace Moretz's mother is one of the producers).
• Fridge.Victorious
  • In the episode "Terror on Cupcake Street" Tori goes out to look for help after their parade float breaks down. She runs across a group of tough looking men in a harsh neighborhood. Although nothing happens, this troper found the entire scene rather disturbing considering the possibilities of what could have occurred to a young girl alone in an LA neighborhood at night, dressed in footie-pajamas no less.
• 18 Again
  • Unrequited Love: Jasung is attracted to Shi-ah and actually confesses to her but she rejects him. Although it is highly understandable since it does not make sense for anyone^note unless they do not have any self-respect for themselves which Shi-ah has plenty of to date someone who used to viciously bully their brother and have talked shit about their mom.
    • A less serious example is Ae-rin with Wooyoung, however, unrequited or not, it wouldn't have worked either way due to Wooyoung being a minor, the age gap between them and her finding out that he is actually Daeyoung, the husband of her best friend.
• The Other Two
  • Jail Bait: Chase is only 13 when he becomes a tween heartthrob and is often subjected to the attentions of older, creepy fans. He is put in a music video that contains suggestive dancing, and he pretends to be in a relationship with a fellow tween star.
• WMG.Crush Crush
  • Ayano doesn't just pull a katana on Fumi once, she attacks multiple times. If Ayano keeps using the "Love Duel" lie, eventually, Fumi will try to take Ayano to bed right after a fight, thinking that's what Ayano was asking for. Given Ayano's Single-Target Sexuality for the player character, she wouldn't want it even if she decides to play along, And That's Terrible. Even if Fumi considers Ayano Jail Bait (perhaps due to different standards in the future), the fiasco would only be delayed. Once it happens, Ayano's going to be even more motivated to kill Fumi.
• YMMV.Love Live Sunshine
  • Self-Fanservice
    • (Ultimately) averted to Ruby, as lewd fanarts of her only attract even more enforcement-themed responses (At least for English-speaking fans), unlike the other red-haired first year in the previous series.
• YMMV.Persona3
  • Woolseyism
    • In the Updated Re-release, Persona 3 Portable, Ken, the Jailbait Adorably Precocious Child, is a romance option with a "spend the night" event at S-Link level 10. This was heavily edited in the US version.

• The Witch's House
  • Jail Bait: Viola looks rather too well-endowed for a 13-year old girl as shown in the cover art at the top of this page.

• Rurouni Kenshin
  • Age-Gap Romance: With Kenshin being 28, and Kaoru being 17 it's almost Jail Bait for Kenshin in a modern sense. However since this based in the late 1870s when older men married younger women more commonly it's a normal relationship for that time period. Also, they don't get married until she's at least 18 and wait for her to be about 19 or 20 before she has their son.
• Memes.Love Live
  • Like the rest of the Anime/Manga Token Mini-Moe characters, and from all of the Aqours members: Ruby of ALL the first years is extremely infamous for having a tendency for being treated as an instant jailbait due to her childlike persona, regardless if she’s a child or a first year. This ultimately resulted on the fans portraying her as a girl with an "extremely heavy-handed" protection from any perverted male fans (Which is caused by Dia herself, but they would occasionally include her as the target due to her "Sis-con" tendencies), which is accompanied with response pictures or gifs of Police with/without their cars or the SWAT Team storming.^note However, in an inverted sense of irony: the fan artists also previously sexualized Maki, who is actually mature looking in-appearance and personality (although her younger self in the OVA doesn't count) unlike Ruby. This also applies to other first years like Hanamaru (due to her buxom appearance). Hanayo, Rin, Yoshiko, and Leah on the other hand, is an entirely different matter.

• Quills
  • Jail Bait: Dr. Royer-Collard, who is in his fifties, marries Simone, a girl of 15, which becomes fodder for a play that the Marquis puts on at the asylum. The whole business stops being funny when the doctor rapes her in their bed.
• Waiting...
  • Jail Bait: Natasha, who is pursued by Monty even though she's only 17.
• Radar.Victorious
  • An attractive paramedic asks Beck if he's in college (i.e. of legal age) yet.
  Woman Paramedic: (To Beck) "Hey, you in college yet?"

• Crossed
  • Jailbait:
    • Roshan of "Wish You Were Here" is the fifteen-year old daughter of the only Muslim family on the island. She's also very sexually active, and flashes Shaky at one point. Despite being tempted, Shaky doesn't follow up on her come-ons, partially out of fear of her strict father, partially because her age makes him uncomfortable.
    • Interestingly, Roshan's mother is fully aware of her daughter's behavior, but she apparently tolerates it and keeps it a secret from her husband.
    • Ashley and Ashlynne, the identical twin sisters in Homo Superior, also qualify as this.

Numerous references, some of which may fall under "rejecting an underage relationship"

• Irredeemable

• Funny.The Spoony Experiment
  • Spoony says that if he hit (Rikku's) Jail Bait ass, he'd have a rap sheet, leading to:
    Spoony: Rikku has a list. And it's creepy. And if I hit that Jail Bait ass, I'd have a list too. It's called a rap sheet.
