If you were my daughter it would be statuatory rape at 35! 8^)\nGood lord just go be a teenager.\nIf you must, use protection.\n\nThe statuatory issue only comes up if there is a "real" issue.\nI assume both your parents know you are dating?\nAsk them. OK you might want to ask mom not dad.\nFathers are that way. And we are proud of protecting our daughters.

17 is still considered a minor. She can "date" older men that is not illegal. Sexual contact would be illegal. However, you would be hard pressed to get a prosecutor to bring a case considering she is 17.

Thats not Cool. It would be legaly considered rape.Just because he's your boyfriend dosent give him the right to take advantage of you. You could explain to him that he got the wrong signal from you.Maybe you should have explained your stance on sex before you slept with him in the same bed...but dont think that its your fault.He shouldnt have done that with out your permission.

How awful, I hope the victim is ok...an attempted rape can be nearly as traumatic as a completed assault. Your BF should ask to have the offending coworker transferred to a different crew until he goes to jail.

First and foremost, rape is rape. There is no psychological benefit to it being a woman instead of a man. I'm not sure how old you are, but I would recommend you find a decent counseler and talk it out. There is no statute of limitations on the rape hotline, and they can recommend help for you. Some places have Rape/Spouse abuse crisis centers where people who have been through these types of ordeals can help you with the steps you need to take. The second thing I want you to know is that you did nothing wrong. There is nothing you could have done that would justify the robbing of a part of your humanity, and rape does just that. I'm not sure how the law handles something like this after a year, so I can't tell you whether you can still prosecute, you'll have to talk to your state attorney general's office.\n\nGood Luck

A bit of a touchy situation from a legal stand point if sex is involved. Ethically, I don't think there is much problem there with a 3 year age difference, if both feel comfortable with the situation. If it is a non-sexual relationship then there are no legal implications, if there is sex going on, then it is "technically" statutory rape and could end up in serious legal consequences. Of course, one should always be careful with any sexual relationship at that age and use all appropriate protection from STDs and unwanted pregnancies.*\n\n*Croni's ethical disclaimer

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.

What really matters is if youe a teen or older. But another thing is that if he really felt something for you he wouldn't have done that.  My girlfriend and i have been dating for 2 years.  when i found out she was molested and raped as a child i just tryed to help her out.  I really stuck it out and we're still together. so dont worry he was a jerk for leaving you.

The age of consent in CA is 18.  There do not appear to be any exceptions to this.  So a 16 yr old with an 18 yr old (genger doesn't matter!) can result in a conviction for statutory rape.  \n\nThink:  Long prison sentence (probably as someone's "girlfriend") , lifetime child sex offender registration, lifetime felony record, loss of voting rights, loss of gun rights, etc.\n\nAnything worth having is worth waiting for.  2 years is NOT a lifetime!

How exactly does a 22 year old man get raped by a woman?\n\nIf this is for real, you should seek some counselling. The odds of a repeat occurance are extremely low.

17 is the age of consent in Texas, but please don't do this to your parents.  I know they are difficult now, every person that has EVER been 17 has experienced this phenomenon.  Try talking things out with your friends that are your age. I promise you that they are going through the same difficulties that you are experiencing.  Please, please, don't run away.\nMaybe you could stay  with a friend, temporarily, who's parents seem more reasonable.

Depends on what he's done in the past and where he's going in the future.\n\nObviously, I wouldn't feel safe with someone convicted of rape or murder or anything like that. Trust would definitely be an issue too, but if you can overcome that, then you should have a very happy future.

16 dating a 20 yr old is a lot different than 13 dating a 17 yr old.  The maturity gap is huge, and yes it is illegal since you're a minor, and when he's 18 he can go to jail, I'm not sure about now.  You should find out what your laws are for where you live regarding minors.\n\nIn the meantime, you should just be friends with him but don't date him, and by all means don't do anything physical with him.  Wait until you're at least 17 or 18 before making any real decisions, you might think you're mature but you still have many years to go and you'll change your mind on a lot of things as you get older.

It depends in part on how old you are...if one or both of you are, say, under fifteen or so, that's a big difference in terms of maturity, etc.  \n\nWith that said, I'm a bit older than my bf (two years in school grades, one year and a couple months in age) and although I got a bit of teasing about "robbing the cradle" at first (and I'm willing to bet he got jokes about dating an "older woman") we've been together for quite a while now, with no age-related problems :)  So no, there's nothing wrong with that.  Good luck!

your parents may have him arrested if they believe you are sexually involved for statuatory rape and he can still get in trouble until you are 18,\nthis is not a black and white issue except when it comes to the law.some girls at age 16 are more responbible and mature hang out with 19 and 20 year old females as peers and some guys can be immature and act closer to your age but for the most part the concern is that the younger person will be at an emotional,mental as far as experience and the way you percieve the world advantage and can be manipulated much eaier than someone closer to their own age ,so someone ends up using his or her influence- to raise them how you like them (common phrase) or that the older person takes advantage of the fact that the minor must go to school fulltime and be home at night evry night in bed by a decent hour so the minor is a convienient sex toy and your girlfriend or wife wont have to know,it is easy ,you understand them because their parents are emotionally or verbally abusive or alcoholic or whatever drama,nobody else understands or is so supportive and they say you are so smart because this is what you want to hear ,you would probably be more likely to feel like a piece of meat if you heard you are so beautiful everytime,and then theres the possessive abusive type that wants this younger person who is easier to train and erode their self esteem to ensure long term ownership,these predatory types is what people have problem with and sometimes that is not the case and love does not do age discrimination and there is no rhyme or reason why age is more than a number when it comes to love

If you are 13, the dood who banged you will be going to jail for statuatory rape.  You may as well get an abortion... no point in ficking up the rest of YOUR life over this.

It could be statutory rape, depending upon the state.  Find an adult girlfriend or keep it in your pants until your current girlfriend is of age.
