[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is harassment and I would encourage the other family to press charges. My teenage DD would be before a judge in no time if she acted like this. This isn't petty mean girl behavior, this is illegal. If the other family doesn't want to press charges I would look into a scared straight kind of program. [/quote]

It's illegal to pressure someone about having sex? Wrong, sure, but pressing charges? Please cite a source of a law that would support this. [/quote]

If it became harassment the parents can turn the text messages over to the police who can determine if they want to press charges. They absolutely can be prosecuted. [/quote]

What statute do you believe OP’s daughter violated? (Please note, I don’t think we know what jurisdiction OP lives/DD attends school in). [/quote]

Not the PP, but [b]someone doesn’t need to specify a statute for something to be illegal[/b]. And [b]some of these issues are still being figured out[/b] anyway in the courts. Some people were shocked when Michelle Carter was convicted of manslaughter ‘just’ for calls and texts and emails.

I think the safest bet is to [b]assume that strongly encouraging a crime[/b] (like statutory rape, or for that matter underage drinking) [b]is also a crime[/b]. So is bullying someone into allowing themselves to be the victim of a crime. Anything else is tempting fate (and karma) a bit too much for me.[/quote]

Do you know anything about the American legal system?!  :shock: [/quote]

a person can be a party to a crime by doing many different things before, during, and after the crime is committed that can legally make one a party and accessory to the crime.

TPC sec. 7.01. “PARTIES TO OFFENSES” provides that “(a) A person is criminally responsible as a party to an offense if the offense is committed [1] by his own conduct, [2] by the conduct of another for which he is criminally responsible, or [3] by both.” Thus, the person who commits the act is a party and anyone else whom the law defines as a party is criminally responsible for the act. Subsec. (b) provides that each “ party to an offense may be charged with commission of the offense.”

Sec. 7.02, describes three situations where a person is a “party,” i.e., criminally responsible for the conduct of another. If the party does not commit the offense directly, to be liable, the party must want, intend or desire that the other person commit the offense.

Second, a under sec. 7.02 (a)(2), a person is responsible for the acts of another if “[b]acting with intent to promote or assist the commission of the offense, he solicits, encourages, directs, aids, or attempts to aid the other person to commit the offense[/b].” This is the classic definition of an “accomplice” and also includes those who solicit others to commit crimes. (The crime of solicitation is discussed in ch. 7.) Thus is A asks (solicits) B to commit a crime, A intends that the crime be committed, and B commits the crime, A (along with B) are guilty of the crime committed by B.
