Question

Sexual Battery / DCF HELP!!!!


What is the name of your state? Florida

My boyfriend a 23 year old was accused of sleeping with a 13 year old girl, the mother of the girl approached myself and him with the girl there....he denied all of it and because he didn't get go off the handle (for better lack of terms) the mother believes her daughter......they contacted the police 2 weeks ago and let them know that he knew he was being accused. So he should be considered a flight risk (right?) She is stating that it was consenting sex (not that it matters) and not a rape. The police took the clothes she was wearing last time they supposedly "done it" and they also swept the couch. I have been told by the mother of the girl, they found nothing on the couch, and is still waiting to hear from the police about the clothes. He has not even been asked 1 question by the police yet. Is it possible the police don't know anything yet?!? Or is there not any evidence to open the case?!?

Now if he is convicted or even just questioned.....
Where my real question lies is.....I have 3 children and I have been continuing to see him......Can the police do anything to me since I knew he was accused and continued to see him, I don't think they can, but maybe I'm be "blind-sided". Also will Children's and Families be involved for me and my kids because I am with him?

Why would you even risk your children for this? Get a new boyfriend...

Contact your local CPS (child protection services) or they may go by a different title. They should asnwer your questions.
Since you're not directly involved, then the police probably won't divulge any information..I wouldn't be too quick to jump to conclusions as to the accusations. Wait for the police findings report..

I hear him denying it, but I don't hear a denial that they have been together or had the opportunity to be alone.

What is her relationship to your boyfriend? How often has he been alone with this girl? If he was NOT over there when she says he was, how would she know the perfect day/time to claim they did the deed(s) when he was not with someone who could be an alibi witness?

My guess is that if they have NOT done anything, at the very least he had the opportunity.

Something is amiss.

The fact that the police have not spoken to him can mean almost anything. It might mean that they don't have anything to go on ... it might mean that they have plenty to go on ... and it might mean that they are simply taking their sweet time or the detective is on vacation.

He might want to talk to an attorney.

A 13 year old cannot "legally" consent to sex. Your bf messed up and you should keep your kids (especially daughters) away from him.

Keep yourself away from him too...you don't know where that thing has been.

Okay ... I had just gotten finished with a rather serious and brooding discussion regarding a pending City Council meeting and sat down in a funk. The first thing I read was this reply!

Thanks for putting a smile back on my face!
