What is Pennslyvania's stachatory rape law? If someone was 17 and the guy was 20 can she press charges?

Stachatory rape means someone is underage but has consented to sex. Being underage they are not considered a proper age to make such a decision, so its stachatory rape. Unconcented sex is just rape but rape of a youth is sometimes punished even more.

If the law wants to they can charge the 22 year old with date rape of a 17 year old because they are under age.

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.

The age of consent in Maryland is 16, so generally, the scenario you describe isn't illegal; however, there may be exclusions for a person "in a position of authority", particularly school employees.  Checking the statute now..\n\nUpdate:  There doesn't seem to be any exclusion for "position of authority"; however, under § 3-322, "Unnatural or perverted sexual practice", performing oral sex *IS* a crime in Maryland! "A person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 10 years or a fine not exceeding $1,000 or both."\n\nNote that, as wrong as it sounds, under § 3-318, the 37yo woman/15yo boy situation is legal. "In general.- Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, a person may not be prosecuted under § 3-303, § 3-304, § 3-307, or § 3-308 of this subtitle for a crime against a victim who was the person's legal spouse at the time of the alleged rape or sexual offense.

That woud depend on the statutory law of the state where the assault took place.  Many state woould still try the pesron as an adult depending on the law and the person's age.

He is pretty much melesting a minor. It is agianst the law in alot of states. You should tell someone if she doesn't get the message! He's an adult male and she hasn't but maybe just hit puberty. She is still a child in the eyes of the law and science. Too young for his dirtty motives. I'm glad you asked, plelase talk to her about it. All he wants is her innocence.

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.

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.

I HAD A SIMILAR SITUATION WITH MY STEP DAUGHTERS. MY 17 YEAR OLD WAS BEING HARASSED BY A 14 YEAR OLD. THE 14 YEAR OLD WAS NON-STOP SHE EVEN THREATENED TO HAVE ME KILLED. WELL AT THAT POINT I HAD TO TAKE MATTERS IN MY OWN HANDS BECAUSE THE POLICE AND HER PARENTS WERE OF NO HELP THEY SAID THE GIRL WAS A MINOR AND MY DAUGHTER IS CONSIDERED AN ADULT. SO ONE SATURDAY NIGHT I WAITED FOR THE GIRLS FATHER AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM. HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY HE WAS GETTING POUNDED BUT I TOLD HIM THAT HIS DAUGHTER WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT TO HIM. THE LAST THING I TOLD HIM WAS THAT THE NEXT TIME HIS LITTLE GIRL THREATENS TO HURT SOME ONE SHE BETTER MEAN IT. AT THAT POINT I WAS READY TO GET LOCKED UP. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE GUY NEVER CALLED THE POLICE. THE LITTLE CRAP IS NOW TERRIFIED OF ME AND MY GIRLS. SOME PEOPLE UNDERSTAND NOTHING BUT VIOLENCE. \nYOU'RE IN A TOUGH SITUATION GOOD LUCK. NOW THAT THE POLICE ARE INVOLVED YOU BETTER KEEP IT LEGAL. THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO DOCUMENT ALL THAT HAPPENS AND PRESS CHARGES ON THE GIRL WHENEVER SHE DOES SOMETHING STUPID. IF IT GETS OUT OF HAND HAVE YOUR DAUGHTER WHIP HER. SOME PEOPLE UNDERSTAND NOTHING ELSE.

I don't remember where, but I read a case where a few females held down this 13-year old and got on top of him until he came because one of them wanted a kid.  It was quite sad, and the kid suffered pretty extensive mental damage.\n\nRape means unwilling.  With enough physical stimulation, you can make almost anyone have an orgasm.  It's still rape, though.

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?

nothing right now, you are both minors, but once you hit 18 then there will probably be some problems, statutory rape,(if you are sexually active with him) corrupting the morals of a minor, and other charges and the parents can press the charges not the minor. \nAnd im pretty sure that the parents of the boy would not be to happy to find out that thier kid is with someone who is almost out of high school while he is still in middle school....

Unfortunately for you and your boyfriend, California is one of the few states with 18 years old as age of consent.  Since your boyfriend is less than 3 years older than you, the following can apply:\n\nCALIFORNIA CODES, PENAL CODE\n261.5 (b) Any person who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor who is not more than three years older or three years younger than the perpetrator, is guilty of a misdemeanor.\n\n(e)(1)(A) An adult who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor less than two years younger than the adult is liable for a civil penalty not to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000).\n\nAnd it's the prosecutor who charges your boyfriend with the crime, not your parents. You have no say in whether he's charged or not.

I assume you're referring to oral penetratiion. This is classed as rape. The victim probably didn't fight back for the same reasons victims in other rape cases dont fight back - fear, panic, confusion. The standard of proof of intent in rape cases is not just that the man must know the victim does not consent, but also if he is reckless as to consnet  - that is he eitehr doesn't care if sbe consents or not or fails to check if she consnts. So if he forced her to do something, and she didn't want to do it, and he didn't check this .... thats rape.

Well, a ten year old is under 18, but I don't think I'd accept a private person's arrest from them.  If you're talking about someone who is 16 or 17, then yes, they can - and I have accepted arrests from people that age.  Much younger than that and I'd be cautious...though that's not to say that I might not accept one from a 15 year old, or even younger.  Circumstances would dictate, to a large degree.  \n\nIt would also be unusual for someone under 18 to need to make a private person's arrest...generally, younger people hang around/with people of their same age, and if a 16 year old was assaulted by a 17 year old, I would not need to have a private person's arrest to be able to take the 17 year old into custody.
