death is an easy way out for that.  they need to be put in a room with real parents and let use take care of them.  they would wish for death when i got done with them.

Nothing good. \n\nYou can be charged with statutory rape (because a minor can't give consent). If charged, you will be arraigned to determine whether the charges are likely enough to be true for a case to be made against you. If at arraignment you are bound over for prosecution, you will either be held in jail or have to make bail to be released until you are tried. The penalties vary by state, but can be pretty severe. If convicted, you will also have to register as a sex offender and find yourself on websites all over the country where you will be tracked relentlessly by everyone who is concerned about sexual predators. That's just the tip of the iceberg. What often happens to sex offenders in jail isn't a fun story either. If you are just considering, DON'T. If you have already, STOP. The risk is unreasonable.

You could be charged with obstruction of justice. Hindering a police investigation. Resisting a public officer. Contributing to the deliquency of a minor.  Accessory to assault on a minor.  Accessory to kidnapping. Withholding information.  It all depends on the jurisdiction and if you are found out. Bad business if you ask me. The girl should turn herself in and hope for the best.  Few jurisdictions would excuse the statutory rape charges, so the (boyfriend) is pretty much up the creek without a paddle if charges are pressed.

If they are 2 seperate legal people then one would be tried for the crime (not both of them) but how you would punish that individual would be down to the court..... Mmmm, but how they'd do that - I haven't a clue!

I think he is laying low right now, but once a pedophile, always a pedophile. He will be in trouble again sometime in the future unless he is castrated.

I am not an attorney, but as a parent I would hope so.  I also thought if a child sex offender was released part of the parole would be to limit or cease all contact with children.

i was molested as a child and i say a child molester should have life probation, goverment keeping tabs on them wherever they go, and be placed in a mental instatiute(or however you spell it.) for rehabilatation, molesting kids is NOT normal, they are messed up. they should have mandatory instatiutionalistion for at least two years before they could go back into society on probation.

Nah, I think it is crazy to think that you (or whomever!) would be punished for being raped by an underage person. It isn't as if you initiated the sex and it was non-consensual so you really couldn't be prosecuted.

I think they should be put with other prisoners. The pedophiles will get repeated first hand experience on what it's like for their victims. The child killers will get the same. The benefit for both being that it'll all be done free of charge by the other inmates.

It depends on state law and whether your state has a statute of limitations for the crimes he committed. After all this time, it may be difficult to prove, but you should still contact the police. The person may be molesting other children and it may cause the police to watch him/her more closely, resulting in an arrest.\n\nAlso, if the person has any significant assets, you may be able to bring a civil suit against him/her. The burden of proof is much lower in a civil suit. This is why all the former altar boys are suing the Catholic Church. They may not be able to get the priest convicted, but they can get money from the church.

i believe that the difference is that rape involves penetration. molestation is just touching without permission. either way its a police matter and they should be consulted

Left in a room with the father of their victims.\nAnd then the same father gets to castrate the pedo, with a rusty knife. \nEven better if the father doesn't have medical experience.

Yes he's still liable.  He can still get time for molestation of a child and to think it all happened because you lied.  Shame on you.

Would you want to raise a child concieved by rape?  Would you be able to, without having animosity towards him/her?  In this case, I have to answer yes.

If one person under 18 has sex with someone more than 3 years different in age, the older person is guilty of statutory rape in most states.

The rapist/child molester would most likely be in more danger since most cops gone bad usually go to a different kind of prison just because the system knows that if they go to a regular prison their lives would be taken shortly thereafter.

Okay our legal justice system does perceive that there is a difference in certain offenses obviously you have them confused....How dare you to compare the heinous crime of raping someone (A felony) to the illegal immigrant to the date a (Misdemeanor -- to mean minor crime)
