What is the law on assault on minors in Virginia?

It's the same as everywhere; you or your b/f hurt her, you go to jail unless it's self defense and you'd better be able to prove it. I'm a former police officer and if you attacked her, I would arrest you. What you need to do is to talk to the girl's parents. She sounds obsessive and that can be dangerous. You need to document every offense, possibly video tape her doing it or recording her with a hidden tape recorder, which, in Texas, you can legally do as long as one party in the conversation is aware that it's being taped, i.e. you or your boyfriend talking to her. If she shows up at your home, call the police. If her parents refuse to put a stop to it, go to the school principal if you are all in the same school and if need be, the police but do not lay a hand on her unless she attacks you. Where do you think sympathy might lie in a court of law? With you and your b/f who are older, or what they would consider a child misbehaving? Right or wrong, sympathy will be on her side because of her age. You both have to be the mature ones in this case. Don't try to solve it on your own. Do tell her when you speak to her that you are going to call the police or go to her parents and if that doesn't work, do as I instructed. It's the safesty way for anyone. There is no excuse for violence unless you are protecting yourself or someone else from a physical threat. Good luck.

No, that's statutory rape. Legally, a minor is not old enough to consent.

Depends on the state.  If you go to your state website and do a search of the consolidated laws, you should be able to find out.  Or you can call your local police department and just ask.

It sounds like an assault and battery, if it's a physical fight. (Not based on law of Illinois specifically; just a general observation.)

There's a law in Virginia that prohibits couples from having sex, if it's not in missionary position. I don't know if it's the most rediculous, but sounds rediculous enough.

What was the offense?\n\nTitle 46.2 - MOTOR VEHICLES, Code of Virginia

Yes, but it depends on the actual offense.\n\nIf the character assination is something that could cost you your freedom or lively hood such as being accused adn arrested for child porn, child abuse, drugs, any felonty really. \n\nDepending on where the court is the parents will just recieve a slap on the hand, or a small amount of damages. Since you cant sue a minor but their guardians.\n\nBut if you want to set an example and you have a strong case then it may be the thing the minor needs to get their life right. \n\nGood Luck!

It would depend upon many factors.  Anything from a community order for a youthful offender where no weapon was shown and little violence was involved to 12 or more years custody where serious injury to the victim occurred is possible.

its a felony assault the person who did this should be arrested, and could get as little as 2 years in prison, if its a first offense it would probably be about 2 yrs.\n(family Experience)

If the teen has a family member they trust and can go to - then by all means go.  However, make sure that all forms of abuse have been documented (by writing in a journal and that the other family members can corroborate the documentation with photos of the physical abuse.)\n\nThe parents will be charged and it is NOT a civil matter that will be handled in Family Court - it becomes a Federal matter - and Child Abuse charges will be filed against the parents.  In many jurisdictions - the child will be placed with the other family member instead of being "placed within the system" - thus ending up in foster care.\n\nIf there is NO family member available - please call the following number.  It is toll free:\n\n1-800-4-A-Child\n\nMay God be with you and bless you.  Please, if possible, keep me appraised of what happens.

That all depends on where it occured and exactly what occured. Some places have different crimes for "lewd acts" versus vaginal intercourse, and each state has different laws for all of the various statutory rape scenarios that are possible.\n\nEdit: For instance, California law requires a sentence of not more than one year for having someone more than 3 years older having sex with a minor.

It really depends where you are and the consequences of the assault even if you were in the car while it occurred.\n\nBest case: slight punch, no wounds, no previous conviction, spur-of-the-moment kinda things. You'll get away with a probation asking you to keep the peace for a few months.\n\nWorst case: the guy beated the living daylight out of the vic, you've done this before, you planned it. All bets are off, you could get prison time.\n\nWithout the jurisdiction, I can't give a better estimate.

It depends on the location of the assault - whether it is a misdemeanor or a felony.  It depends on the lawyer you have, the competence of the District Attorney and the judge.  For a first offense, it would most likely be probation and maybe some community service.

That would be considered assault in my daughters school.\n\nCoach

There is no state-wide law on the issue. In Sacramento minors are not allowed in public places after 10, though there is a rather long list of exceptions. The site below has the full law.
