What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
My brother is 22 and legally incompetent (collects SSI and has been diagnosed as mentally disabled) and lives with my mom. Over Christmas, he and his girlfriend came to visit my wife and I, and after they left, my mom called me to ask how it went. Then she made the comment that GF is "very mature for only being 16"
GF had flat-out told me she was 18, otherwise there is NO way I would have let them stay with us. It's very obvious that they are having sex (while here, GF told my wife she may be pregnant, turns out she is not, but apparently this is not the first time they've had a pregnancy scare).
I do not know what my mom is thinking, they live 3 hours away from us and GF live 2 hours from them, my mom regularly lets my brother use her car to visit the GF, and lets the GF stay with them (at one point she even lived with them for about 4 months, when she was apparently only 15). I am wondering what issues my brother could be facing as far as being charged with statutory rape and being mentally disabled if this were to go to court. Also, my mom is completely facilitating the relationship and I honestly have no idea what is going on in her head. I feel like I am watching a car crash and there is absolutely nothing I can do. My brother does not have the capacity to think of the consequences of the situation, and my mom is apparently to stupid to do so.
