25 yr old & 17 yr old in KY

[rmet4nzkx]

So is this supposed to be a site for advice or a site to get flamed? If anyone has a serious response to my initial post, I'd greatly appreciate it. Everyone else, go troll some other thread.

And yes, I'm asking what could hapen if the parents found out. Age of Consent is 16, so I think we're fine there. But what other laws could possibly be broken, if any?

What is a man your age doing looking to have sex with a child can't you find women your own age? Of course there are things her parents can do, they can press charges for various forms of sexual misconduct and/or assult, contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Where have you been all these years to not realize there are consequences for your actions and a reason minors are called, jail bait?

Her parents will have more reason to be upset if your relationship is being hidden, especially with your intent. At least meet her parents and get their approval for dating, keep away from tempting places and do not consider having sex with her no matter the age of consent. If she is lying to her parents, she is probably lying to you as well. Don't just accept her age, check it out, she may be lying about that and then her age of consent won't mean a thing.

Now, there is your legal advice.

"But what other laws could possibly be broken, if any?"

You will have to give me a fact situation. Your question is similar to, "What is the meaning of life?"

I will try to answer your question, but you will have to be a little more specific.

Honestly, posts like these get tiresome.

Poster, do you remember what it was like to be 17??? I know we all thought we knew everything at that age. We were all so mature and we all were advanced beyond our years.(LOL)

Do you recall how much you learned after you graduated and lived on your own? She hasn't gone through that yet. She will experience what it is like to be an adult and what it takes to be responsible for herself.

It's very immature and sickening when an adult male wants to know the legal ramifications of dating a minor. Do you remember being a minor? (seriously)

You adult men have no interest whether or not her family excepts you. Your only thinking what you can get out of it without getting into trouble. If this relationship does blossom (yeah right) her parents aren't going to have a very high opinion of you. (which you could give a crap about anyway) But, even though she may rebel against her parents to be with you, eventually their opinion will matter.

As Rmetx mentioned, there are laws out there that can still put you in a bad situation. So even though the 17-year old doesn't care about the consequences, you are an adult and you would be the one suffering from them.

Start with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and go on from there.

Age of consent

I think this is a better website regarding the information you are seeking:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent

It is 16 in Kentucky... (look toward the bottom of the website page).

He realizes age of consent is 16, but he is wondering what other charges could be brought against him if he decides to date this girl.

Rmetx and cbg have both mentioned that there are other laws that he could be breaking.
The parents, if they are determined to keep the two of them apart, still have laws in their favor even if the girl does consent to sex. (since she still is a minor)

The poster needs to remember what it was like to be 17.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice, from those who were sincere anyway. And yes, I do agree that there are things that someone who is younger will learn from over the next few years, which is why I had no intention of rushing things. I looked in to Age of Consent and asked about other laws to see what can and cannot be. Sure, there’s an age difference, but guess what? I do remember what it was like to be young and I know that at the core, I am the same person now that I was then. The fact that there’s an age gap is unfortunate, because I also know if she was older or if I was younger that there’d be a lot of potential for a good relationship. Morally, I don’t have a problem with the age difference. It’s the legal ramifications that I needed to worry about. For the record, her parents opinions do matter, which is why I decided to tell her that there’s only two options at this point. Get approval from her parents or wait until she’s 18 and reevaluate the situation. There’s something about her that brought out a side of me that I haven’t seen in long time. While I’d rather have gone for it now, it’s best to wait and see what the future holds.

Well you did state that you have not grown up from being that age and feel the same, so the best advice for you is to just follow the law,(If you can understand it).

Michael Jackson said the same thing....

Those are the two lines that leaped out at me too.

Poster you have gotta be kidding, unless you were living on your own and being totally independent for yourself at the age of 17; there should be a HUGE change in your maturity from 17 to 25.

Oh wait........I just thought of something. Are you still living at home with your parents, going to school, worrying about what you'll wear tomorrow, asking if you can borrow the car, waiting for your allowance, sneaking around with the phone to call your girlfriend, asking what time you need to be home, worried if you'll get your homework done by tomorrow (you know all the important stuff a teenager has to worry about)?

Because that would explain it.

OP, when was your FIRST sexual encounter with a child?

I knew I should have closed this thread. I said at the core, who I am. I never said I haven't learned a lot along the way. *******s.
