Rape of a child would imply intercourse, child molesting can be anything from fondling on up. And Yes, statutory rape could be classified as a Lewd Act. Most states heve their own sex ofender sites, watch out for ones that make you pay to see them, these are not the official ones, and are just moneymaking scams.

There are lots of possibilities. In all of my explanations below, I leave out information that doesn't apply to children, as the statutes aren't written separately.\n\n1)Sexual exploitation of a child applies when someone performs a sexual act (ma$turbates, touches genitals, or commits an act of sexual penetration) or exposes his or her genitals, anu$, or breasts in front of a child, knowing the child can see, OR entices or coerces a child to remove his or her clothing for purposes of sexual gratification. This is a Class A misdemeanor for first offense, Class 4 felony for following offenses, and Class 4 offense if the child is under 13.\n\n2)Criminal sexual assault applies when someone commits an act of sexual penetration with someone who was "unable to give knowing consent," which applies to all children under 17 (the age of consent), or if the person was under 18 and a family member, or the person was 13 or more, but under 18, and the attacker was in a position of authority or trust. This is a Class 1 felony.\n\n3)Aggravated criminal sexual assault requires that the crime qualify as criminal sexual assault first. This applies if the accused is under 17 and the victim under 9, or if the accused was under 17 and the victim between 9 and 13 and force was used. This is a Class X felony.\n\n4)Predatory sexual assault of a child applies when someone over 17 commits an act of sexual penetration with a child under 13. This is a Class X felony.\n\n5) Criminal sexual abuse applies if someone commits an "act of sexual conduct" (sexual act except penetration) with someone "unable to give knowing consent" (again, applies to all minors). Also, if the accused is under 17 and the victim between 9 and 17, this applies. Finally, if someone commits an act of sexual penetration with someone between 13 and 17 and is less than 5 years older than that person, it is criminal sexual abuse. This is a Class A misdemeanor for the first offense and Class 2 felony for subsequent offenses.\n\n6) Aggravated criminal sexual abuse requires that it qualify as criminal sexual abuse. It is aggravated if any of the following apply: the victim was under 18 and a family member of the accused, the accused was 17 or over and the victim under 13, the accused 17 or over, the victim between 13 and 17, and force was used, the accused was under 17 and the victim under 9, or the accused was under 17, the victim between 9 and 17, and force was used. Also, if someone commits an act of sexual penetration with someone between 13 and 17 and is at least 5 years older, it is aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Finally, if a person in a position of trust or authority commits an act of sexual conduct with a child between 13 and 18, it is aggravated criminal sexual abuse. This is a Class 2 felony.\n\nTbere are other statutes, which may apply.

Don't bother with the media.  Don't bother with looking for case law.\n\nSpend a few minutes looking around the New York Department of Criminal Justice DCJS Office of Public Safety website at:\n\nhttp://criminaljustice.state.ny.us/ops/index.htm\n\nAnd get yourself an education.  It could be that what you're describing is perfectly proper within your state.  If it is, but you still don't think this officer should be working unsupervised, contact the chief of police with your concerns.  Some would suggest that if the chief does not satisfy your frustrations you should go to the governing body for your city (city council, etc), but I don't know how useful that would be.  They will only know what you tell them and what the chief tells them, and who do you think they will believe in the long run?\n\nIf talking to the chief doesn't changes things, I guess it would be best to tell the chief that are you concerned enough that you will take the issue public and will speak with the City Council.  If you actually do that, and see no changes, then I'd say the media is a fair bet.  \n\nI'd check out the website first.  Then I'd talk to the chief if I was still concerned.

That law was probably put in place back in the settlement days when if you were 35 you were considered old since life expectancy was 35-40.  Back when there was no such thing as NyQuil and the flu could very easily kill you.  That was also the time when families married you more to get you out of the house so there would be more food to eat.\n\nI am not too familiar with Colorado law.  However I am sure that there are other laws in the books there that over ride that one.  We have learned over the years that a 12 year old girl getting pregnant isn't the healthiest thing for her to do.  Such as you cannot get married under a certain age with out consent of the parents, statutory rape laws, and consent laws.\n\nIf you read some of the laws on the books now you will see at the end "This law will take president and negate all laws before it" or something similar.  This is because it is a daunting task to go through all the laws and figure out which ones need to be removed then have legislative meeting to remove them.  Like in one state it is still on the books that you can only take a bath on Saturday on your front lawn.  It was made due to a water shortage that has since been rectified, but it is still on the books even though it is no longer observed.

Tell the friend to get legal advice about child support.  I don't know Singapore law but I image that fathers are held responsible to support their kids just like they are here.  In Canada a 17 year old is above the age of consent and he would not be criminally responsible (unless the guy was in a position of authority).  As for her mental/physical hurt?  Did he rape her? If she had sex with him then she bears at least half of the blame.

If you're forced to have sex, it's rape.  The law makes no distinction.

http://moraloutrage.net/staticpages/index.php?page=Georgia\n\nIt looks legal to me. \n\n16-6-3. \n(a) A person commits the offense of statutory rape when he or she engages in sexual intercourse with any person under the age of 16 years and not his or her spouse, provided that no conviction shall be had for this offense on the unsupported testimony of the victim. \n(b) Except as provided in subsection (c) of this Code section, a person convicted of the offense of statutory rape shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than 20 years; provided, however, that if the person so convicted is 21 years of age or older, such person shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than ten nor more than 20 years; Any person convicted under this subsection of the offense of statutory rape shall, in addition, be subject to the sentencing and punishment provisions of Code Section 17-10-6.2. (c) If the victim is at least 14 but less than 16 years of age and the person convicted of statutory rape is 18 years of age or younger and is no more than three years older than the victim, such person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.\n\nThis is the Georgia code.

This would be govened by the Code of Professional Responsibility for the specific jurisdiction of the attny. I will illustrate using the ABA Model Rules of Professional Responsibility, which for the most part has been adopted in most states (although with variations).\n\nRule 1.8(j) provides that: "A lawyer shall not have sexual relations with a client unless a consensual sexual relationship existed between them when the client-lawyer relationship commenced." Also read the Comments section applicable to Rule 1.8(j). \n\nThe question is has the attny-client relationship officially ended (sometimes this is unclear). If so (and it is best to make it explicit between the parties that the relationship is over), then it is most likely ok; however, this might preclude further representation of the client in subsequent matters (unless proper waiver is obtained and rules followed). \n\nStates do differ significantly on this point, so it is best to consult the Code of Prof. Resp. for your jurisdiction (which should be availble at the state's bar website)

It depends on the law in the state where it happened.\nHere's a chart\n\nhttp://www.ndaa.org/pdf/sexual_assault_statutes.pdf

In North Carolina the age of consent is 16, so if the boy was 16 at the time of conception it was not statutory rape.  However, if he is 16 now but was not yet 16 seven months ago it would be statutory rape (i.e. if he was still 15 when he got her pregnant but is 16 now).  The pregancy is beyond the legal limit for abortion, so the only applicable laws deal with parental rights and child support.  Also, North Carolina actually still has an adultery statute, so assuming they were not a married couple, both the girl and the boy could be charged with misdemeanor adultery (although this statute is not generally enforced).\n\nIN NORTH CAROLINA, SEX WITH A 16-YEAR-OLD IS NOT STATUTORY RAPE!  All those previous answers are wrong.\n\nBut I'm curious: how can you be seven months pregnant and not notice?

Depends on the State.  In some areas if you are with in 2 years of each other it does not matter.   Try going online and looking at the penal code for your State.  It can't be too hard to find.  You could make an anoymous call from a pay phone to a District Attorneys office, a justice department or police station.  Just don't be an idiot and use a number that could be traced to you.\n\nI hope you had the sense to use protection.  Get your self tested for an std if you didn't.  \n\nGood luck man.\n\nP.S.  I just did a yahoo search for the CT penal code.  I inputted "Connecticut penal code" and it popped right up.  There was 2 year clause there.  But go ahead and check your State where you reside so you know for sure.

Statutory rape is called "indecency with a child" in Texas. The statute of limitation limits it to 10 years from the child's 18th birthday.
