[quote=Anonymous]"I know that a newly 13 year old girl is having sex with a 16 almost 17 year old."

[quote]First, it IS a felony in Md. and Va. even if the boy is 16 b/c a person under 14 cannot give consent.

Second, this girl JUST TURNED 13. Let's say she had her bday last month -- it would have also been statutory rape in DC last month! In fact, it might still be statutory rape and provable in court (if the girl or the sex was in DC) as long as the girl can state that it happened when she was 4 yrs. younger than the boy.

The fact that it is PRESUMPTIVELY sexual abuse for anyone under 14 to have sex should be a wake up call for some of you who think it's all about privacy and empowering the girl. Social mores say that it is not healthy for anyone to be having sex with a 13 yr. old. 13 yr. olds cannot think through the long term implications. And we're not talking about an "almost 14 yr old" -- we're talking about someone who was 12 a very short time ago.... she is newly 13.

This 16, almost 17 yr. old is preying on the girl who just turned 13. I wonder if he has any photos of her on his phone... child pornography charges, anyone? [/quote]

NP here...and given these legal implications, I would be VERY VERY careful about how one engages with the girl or her parents; (IIRC) knowledge of criminal activity, in this case after the fact, without reporting it to law enforcement may have the potential to expose that individual to being charged as an accessory to the crime.

Not to be a buzzkill, but the law is the law...whatever your good intentions, don't hang yourself out to dry on this.[/quote]
