Age of consent laws in PA?

[cyjeff]

Very true but when they were doing it it was not a crime, at least not one that was prosecuted very much if at all in the last 10 years.

Please state the statistics from a reliable source that statutory rape is a crime that is never prosecuted.

Thanks.

A crime does not stop being a crime if you decide to stop committing it.

Oh and btw the corruption charge that they are talking about would not be a valid charge IF we believe the OP. He would have had to have been at least 18 when the sex occurred for that charge to stick.

See what your not getting is it is NOT statutory rape. As I said IF we believe the OP they were both under age 18 when the sex occurred. If she was 16 and he was 17. We can only go buy what the OP stated in his post.

Oh, and btw, that would mean that statutory rape or molestation is back on the table because the little girl is now under the age of consent.

You can't play this game both ways. Before 16, the crimes possible are felonies... after, misdemeanors.

How do you figure that? If she was 16 she was not under the age of consent.

What you're not getting is that "your" is a possessive pronoun and "you're" is a contraction of the words "you" and "are". Completely different words even if they sound similar.

A child can be molested by another child if one of those children is under the age of consent. In fact, there have been cases where BOTH children were charged.

I am still waiting for the statistics that say that statutory rape charges are not prosecuted.

Thanks.

Are you a moron? Really?

The original question was " I did need to know if this could be considered Corruption of a Minor." The answer is yes.

If they were sexually active prior to her turning 16, other charges... though NOT statutory rape due to the Romeo clause... can be brought to bear.

Ok lets look at each one. She is 16 and he just turned 18 (never once did he say they were having sex when she was 15) This in itself is not a crime especially if they stopped when he turned 18. Even if they did not stop it is still not statutory rape.

As far as corruption goes he would have had to have been at least 18 for that charge to be valid. Now that he is 18 if they do have sex it is possible he could be charged with that.

The reality is that in PA. as in most states if a 16 and a 17 year old have sex it is not going to be prosecuted unless he forced her to do it. The courts just do not have the time or resources to prosecute every teenager that has sex. Look it up and read about it.

That was actually not the original question. The original question was if we had sex when he was 17 and she was 16 is that a crime. The answer is no.

No you are a moron. NOT ONCE did he say she was under the age of consent when they had sex. NOT ONE TIME DID HE SAY THAT.

This is where you all let your morals get in the way of legal advice. You are not reading the original question right because in your mind you automatically think rape. You thinking teenage girl having sex. You not looking at the ages or the way the question was worded. He never asked about corruption charges he asked if what they did BEFORE he turned 18 was illegal.

 

[cyjeff]

No you are a moron. NOT ONCE did he say she was under the age of consent when they had sex. NOT ONE TIME DID HE SAY THAT.

First, the sentence should read, "No, you are a moron." I do give you credit for not risking the contraction if you aren't sure, but those nasty commas are still necessary.

Second, HE asked about corruption of a minor. (Post #3)

Third, he said that she was 16 and they had been going out for almost a year. That begs the question, doesn't it?

Last, still waiting for your oft mentioned statistics about how no one prosecutes statutory rape in PA unless the child is under 13.

Found it yet?

So now all you can do is attack my pronunciation?

A child can be molested by another child if one of those children is under the age of consent. In fact, there have been cases where BOTH children were charged.

Since the OP never said she was under the age of consent when the sex took place this argument is completely useless.

I am still waiting for the statistics that say that statutory rape charges are not prosecuted.

I did not say statutory rape was not prosecuted. I said that sex between two teenagers under the age of 18 but over the age of 13 is rarely prosecuted.

Ok, sure, no problem.

Second, HE asked about corruption of a minor. (Post #3)

Yes he did, however if they are not having sex NOW WHILE HE IS 18, corruption would not come into play. As I said, you are reading the question the way you want to read it and not the way it was written. He said they stopped when he turned 18 if he was 17 when they had sex the no corruption charges could be filed.

Third, he said that she was 16 and they had been going out for almost a year. That begs the question, doesn't it?

Sure it begs the question, but we are not on here to guess about something that is not in a post. You can't tell a person he is going to be prosecuted of a crime if you don't know that a crime was committed. My daughter is 16 and has been going out with a guy for almost a year and she was 16 when they started going out. You can't give legal advice on a GUESS.

Last, still waiting for your oft mentioned statistics about how no one prosecutes statutory rape in PA unless the child is under 13.

That is not what I said. Go back and read it over again.
