Turning someone in for statutory rape?

Question

so i know this person who is 18 and is sexually involved with a 15 year old. how would she get turned in if she were to get turned it? is she risking it doing this? how much trouble would she get in?

Answer 1

Hi there UK asker!!

Chances are in Britain the laws are much different than on this side of the pond. I believe over there the charge is considered sexual interference with a minor.  Most likely end up in Magistrates court.

Answer 2

who cares it's not like it's 30 and 15. let it go.......................

Answer 3

depends on which state your in, some states you are allowed to be a few years difference in age dispite one party being 18 and one under. An example of this is New Jersey, an 18 can sleep with a 14 since they are within 4 years of age...check the link.

EDIT

Isnt there an answers for UK users?...dont give me thumbs down for giving a US answer when your in US Y! answers

Answer 4

They would probably just deny the whole thing, unless there was some ironclad proof to it. Besides, that 15 year old guy is one lucky dude.

Answer 5

I have some questions for you. One, how do you know. Two, are they doin it at your place. Three, did you walk in on em doin it.

Answer 6

it really depends on the state. typically though from experience the legal age of consent is 16. the parents typically have to press charges. but the state can prosocute if they chose to do so.  Also typically it has to be atleast a 4 year difference also

Answer 7

She would be put on a list of sexual predators and may get some jail time for it especially if oral s*x is involved.  Once the other person turns 16 that is the age of consent.  Better advise her to hold off a bit.

Answer 8

ugh, that kind of age difference in a relationship is just disgusting.  anyway, parents are the ones who press charges typically unless the state finds out somehow.  so the s**t should cut it out until he's old enough.
