It is not statutory rape:
Statutory Rape Laws by State
"Aggravated sexual assault is sexual penetration with a victim under age 13.

Sexual assault is sexual penetration with a victim between age 13 and 16 when the actor is at least four years older."

There are exceptions:
Statutory Rape – New Jersey Sex Crime Attorney
"A second way it can occur is when the victim is at least 13-years-old, but under 16-years-old and one of the following circumstances is present: The adult is related to the victim by blood or affinity to the third degree; or The adult has supervisory or disciplinary power over the victim based on his legal, professional, or occupational relationship with the victim; or The adult is a resource family parent, a guardian, or stands in loco parentis within the household.

Penalties: 1st Degree Crime carrying 10-20 years in prison if convicted."

However, there are other charges that might be applicable. Not to mention that the two parents will be supporting a child for at least 18 more years - and this will greatly interfere with getting an education and establishing a career.

It doesn't matter what other students are doing and it doesn't matter whether you have a brain injury, learning disabilty, or whatever it was you claimed in another thread.

We. Will. Not. Knowingly. Do. Homework. For. Anyone.

This information is so easily found that if a LAW STUDENT needs to come to a forum to find the answer as a "last resort"? Time to find another vocation - you're not gonna cut it.

Sadly, I would expect a Phi Theta Kappa law student to understand the difference between 'there' and 'their'.
