She's right...no matter what the facts of a given case are, anyone labeled a "Sex Offender" gets painted with the same broad brush. All molesters, predators and actual rapists are sex offenders, but not all sex offenders are monsters... you gotta look at the actual "crime", not the label.\nIf the male in this case was over 18, then as far as I'm concerned the mother should ALSO be charged in this case, but it happens a lot that nothing horrible actually took place... There are thousands of cases where the "Offender" is the poor high school senior dating a sophmore,the 19 year old schmuck who lost his head over girl 2 months from the age of consent or the guy who got in a world of trouble over some experienced little hottie who lied about her age, it happens more than you might think that the only thing a guy did wrong was not ask for identification or make the mistake of turning 18 before his high school sweetheart turned 16. And then there is the married couple who gets nailed for "Lewd and Lascivious Conduct" because they were busted by a park ranger fooling around on a camping trip, 8 miles in, and a mile off the trail....in Texas, a person can be charged with a sexual offense for purchasing or owning certain, commonplace "adult toys"

Rape is much too serious to tolerate but it is also much too serious to trivialise by making false claims.\n\nI would encourage your friends to go the police. If they are telling the truth they will be happy to bring the boy to justice. Two accusers are better than one, and with their families' support they could begin to put the past behind them.\n\nIf they don't want to go the police (despite having the support of their parents) you should suggest to them that you will initiate the process. I would be suspicious of their claims if they refuse to bring any charges whatsoever.

NO not legal but it happens. \nI read in the paper not too long ago that unless the boys parents let the boy testify the woman get off free.\nTwo cases I have read about have involved women teachers. Although in one case the woman did serve time now she is out and married the boy who is now of marrying age. The boys mother felt real bad for her going to jail.

or murder for that matter.  the statute for rape however is 5 years.

No because a girl can just go beat herself up, sue the man for trying to rape her, he goes to jail even though he's innocent, and the world is coming to it's end.

it depends upon state laws.  In California for instance the 22 year old can be prosecuted if the 17 year old is a girl, but not if the boy is 17.

In many states they DO separate out the kinds of sex offenses to deal with the issue you are raising. They also have age ranges so that a 16 year old having sex with a 17 isn't treated the same way as a 15 year old having sex with a 40 year old.\n\nPlus, if the girl admits to lying and it seems plausible, charges can be dropped. \n\nWhen lists of offenders are available, some states only give names and information for level 3 offenders---scary guys likely to re-commit and most likely child molesters. \n\nGuys who slept with a girl a little too young are not always identified directly. If you look at a database on line it might just say there are 3 types of this kind of offender in a certain town and not list their names.\n \nThis is a tough situation as there are many girls out there who look older than they are and they lie about their age. There should be a punishment for a girl who (knowing she is a few months or a year shy of consent) lies---maybe criminal solicitation???

Generally speaking, of course they can.  What if the minor was being abused by a parent?

some boys are innocent. some girls are innocent. so the answer is: Either. or neither. it depends.

I don't think so, unless the prior conviction has you on probation or on a sex offendor register.

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.

Depends on what they did.  If it is sex with a young child, you bet.  Remember all of those high profile kidnappings and murders were repeat offenders.

Physically it is certainly possible.  Rape is forced and/or unwilling sexual activity, so a woman could certainly force a man to unwillingly have sex (see News articles below).\n\nI'm certain from a legal standpoint it is also possible, but different jurisdictions likely define rape differently.  I would be surprised if the definition of rape changes based on gender, however.

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.

Please go slap whoever told you that....if there is proof that the child (no matter what its age) is being abused in any way shape or form, both parents can be charged. even if only one is doin the molesting.
