If you went into a policestation and asked a hypothetical question would they be able to act on it?

Question

i wanted to talk to someone about this guy i have talked to online but he is 28 and im 14 and we were thinking about meeting up and i really love him. but i wanted to know the laws and i dont want to get him in trouble and i dont want my parents to know. so can they do anything if i just ask questions?

Answer 1

Police can act on anything.  If police have reason to believe a crime has been committed they can act. Whether that action can include making an arrest is another question. There is a federal offense involving using the internet to lure an under-age person into having s*x.  Many states have similar statutes.  If you actually meet and have s*x, that is a crime in every state and most countries.

Answer 2

just don't have s*x, then you have nothing to worry about, there is no law against two people falling in love

and if you do trust him, and your parents like him, then you don't have to tell anybody else

Answer 3

They would probably try and talk you out of it. Furthermore, I really think you should give this more thought. Ths guy couldbe anyone..and you have never met him before. I am 28 and half the guys my age scare me. Find someone within your age range that you may have more in common with.

Answer 4

Please re think this. He is what is known as a pedophile. Your chances of coming out of this with anything good are zero. Young people are frequently used for all kinds of awful stuff by these preditors and nothing good can come of this. He is a loser praying on children. Love has nothing to do with what he is after.

Answer 5

Please reconsider meeting up with him. That is extremely dangerous and he is probably some weirdo. However, it is illegal for you two to.. do anything sexual. It is called child molestation. You are too young to understand the kind of games this guy is probably playing with you or the ways it could s***w up your life. Be careful. The fact that you don't want your parents to know tells me that you KNOW that this is dangerous though.  

Answer 6

think about this logically, a 28 year old man has planned a meeting with a 14 year old girl. now if he cannot find a women to date, do you really want him? this 28 year old man spends alot of time talking to a 14 year old girl, this has to look out of place to you. doesn't it? seriously girl this is not good for you. i dont know about you but im 23 and i know meeting a 14 year old for friendship or more doesn't look good at all. and what would my 23 year old mind have in common with a 14 year old? really girl watch your back....
