Yes.  The age of consent in Arizona is 18.  Sex with a 16-year-old is a class 6 felony if it was done knowingly and intentionally.  He better get a copy of that fake I.D. or it will be tough to prove he did not know, especially if the girl looks anywhere near that young.

What, did he rape you? If not, who cares? 16 year olds don't look much different than 18 year olds, it's a little wierd but not pedo. In some places (yes, even in this country, I believe) it's legal to have sex at 16. If he didn't rape you and you were a willing participant in laying the guy, it's your mom that caused him grief. \n\nHe might still have a love for you, just afraid. He might not think you're crazy or any such thing, and he might even send something back. As long as his wife doesn't find the letter, he should be fine.\n\nBy the way, why did your mom bother to have him arrested? I would have just let it lie. It was probably a bunch of stress and trouble for no reason. Ah well. Good luck, girl.

Sounds like statutory rape, sex offender, not good.

If the age of consent is 16, it doesn't matter if she told him she was 14.  It's still statutory rape.  \n\nLaws differ in different states regarding punishment.

As far as I know, the age of sexual consent in Arizona (between male and female) is 18.  \nI don't know of any exceptions to the law.\n\nSomeone who is 18 or older who has sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact with a minor who is 15, 16, or 17, can be charged with a class 6 felony.\n\nIf he is arrested and tried for the above, his lawyer could argue that he has not had sex with you since he has reached the age of consent.\n\nSorry, but you're probably stuck with not having sex.  Just research the laws in your state.\n\nLook on the bright side.... You'll only have to wait a year, and that'll give you time to see if your boyfriend loves you enough to stay with you and remain loyal even though he isn't getting sex from you.

You have a lot of good adice there young lady.  Try going to the police and they should be able to tell you of organizations that can help you.  Above all please carry the baby to term.  Thia is from a male.  A real man would never abandon you in a case like this.

That does kinda look bad since he is like double her age, it depends really if they are from USA it gonna be bad cause of the laws, but europe it would be fine cause its legal, does this 16 year old girl know what she getting herself into? he is at the age where he started a career and hopefully wants wife and children while her age still at school and has so many years left and hasnt started to know what she wants. I think she seriously needs to think about it and I don't want to sound mean or nothing but a 30 year old guy not gonna get serious with a 16 year old sorry!

Most states (though not all) have laws on the books that say if a person has sex with another individual who cannot give consent because they are unconcious or suffer from a diminished mental capacity they are guilty of rape. Period. So if the events occurred as you describe them, the person could be theoetically be held legally liable for rape. \n\nOf course the real issue is whether there is proof to sustain such an allegation in court. If the only evidence is one person's word against another's there is little chance that any case can or will be brought by the authorities. In this instance, evidence that would support your boyfriend's claim would include witness accounts or toxicology tests showing a high level of intoxicants such as alcohol or drugs in his system which would make it likely that he would not wake up during the event. If he did no obtain such a test immediately, it is too late now.  \n\nYour statement that she was 'pinning him down' is confusing however because it suggests he was actively trying to resist the woman when the premise of the question is that he slept through the sexual activity. \n\nYour best bet may be to call your local District Attorney and see what they advise you (and him) to do.

You can call the police or local Sheriff's department and ask to speak to someone in the unit that deals with sexually based or minor based offenses. \n\nIt is possible that in your state 16 is the age of consent, and as such the man may not be prosecutable under statutory rape or sexual predator laws (many US states list 16 as the age of consent, though some have further age restrictions beyond that). If this is the case, though, you can still take out a restraining order against him to stop the unwanted advances - no matter what, civil sexual harassment laws still apply.\n\nI'd suggest consulting a local criminal attorney or visiting a legal resource website based in your state and/or local jurisdiction for further help. A simple web search should bring up the site you need.

Depending on when the sexual intercourse occurred, the man may not have committed any offence. Under Singapore's Penal Code, it is statutory rape if a man has sex with a girl under the age of 14, with or without her consent. It is also an offence if he has sex with a girl older than 14 but below the age of 16; this is covered by the Woman's Charter and is called carnal connection.\n\nEven if the man does not have a criminal case to answer to, the girl can always sue him in civil court for maintenance. Of course, the legal process would be complicated, requiring the girl to prove the baby is the man's. If this is your chosen option, I would advise you to consult a lawyer.

Under Singapore's Penal Code, Cap 224, having sex with any girl, below the age of 14, with or without her consent is considered rape. This is also known as statutory rape. It is only legal if the girl is the man's wife and she is above the age of 13.\n\nUnder the Woman's Charter, Cap 353, it is an offence to have sex with any girl below the age of 16, with or without her consent. This is known as carnal connection. Again, it is only legal if the girl is the man's wife.\n\nEstablishing if an offence occurred would depend on how old the girl was, when she had intercourse with the man. If she had already turned 17 years old but had sexual relations with him when she was 15, then there is a case for prosecution. If on the other hand, she had sex with him when she was already 17, there is no case for the man to answer.

Wait a minute people, did you bother to read the whole thing or just react to the first lines? We are talking about 2 kids and vengeful parents and probably a very vengeful little girl.\nA good attorney should be able to get a reversal based on nothing more than the facts!\nThis guy was 18, GF was 16, had been together 2 years, she gave it up, and probably enjoyed it more than once! Then, as often happens, they both change,as they are still maturing, and go separate ways. Girlie's mad so calls the cops. Did you people remain virgins until you were over the age of consent? I DOUBT IT! Just because it is a GIRL the courts feel justified,l I highly doubt there is any thought in the guys mind of little girls in this case!\n\nREAD THIS:\n\nHe was 18 and she was 16 when he got charged with a sex offence, they had been dating for 2 years at the time. When he decided to end it, her parents turned him in.

Statutory rape is prosecuted by the STATE and there is no leniency for parental consent. In some jurisdictions the parent/guardians can be held liable and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, child neglect or accessory.\n\nStatutory rape is not only for intercourse!!!! Foreplay can be included in a rape charge against minors!!!!!\n\nIf the girl is not 18.........do not touch her if you are 19 or older. An over-zealous cop or DA can catch you "parking", or whatever, and make a LOT of people VERY miserable for LIFE!!!!!!!!\n\nSex crimes can never be lived-down.\n\n\n\nNot in today's society.

Sorry there really isn't much that can be done. In most states sex crimes with minors aren't based on consent. If she is a minor (and at 11 I'm pretty sure she is) it is assumed that she can not give consent to sex, it does not matter that she has sex all the time.\n\nThe only thing that needs to be proved is, was she a minor, did they have sex, and did he know she was a minor when they had sex (and in many states even if he did not know he is still considered guilty). Her consent is never an issue.\n\nHe needs a really good lawyer, maybe their is something to the fact that he is only 16, he should still be considered a minor himself. But I can not stress enough that her consent and her sexual history have zero relevance.

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.

I'm not at all shocked. In fact, I've seen it happening in my area for many years. Illegal hispanic men 'dating' and impregnating girls from the age of ten on up. Not to mention that I've heard many of them say that any unescorted female going about her business was 'asking for it'.  But things are changing a little around here. Every pregnant girl under the age of sixteen is referred to the DA as a rape victim and perpetrators are getting an average of five years in prison. I'm glad something is being done to stop this.\n\nSome of the ones going to prison did not impregnate the girl. Many of the idiots freely admit to having sex with underage girls because they think nothing will be done.\n\nCrazybird's answer reminded me of something my ex-husband told me. He is from a small village in Mexico. He said that when a man wanted to find a wife (if he couldn't find one at home) he and his friends would go to a neighboring village and take a woman. They would bring her back and force the 'marriage' on her. Her family would not object because they considered it to be too late to do anything about it.
