What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I have a friend who is 14 and was dating somebody 12 yrs older than him online in a game. They met there and started to chat and become friends. After a while they started to share texts and phone calls of a sexual nature. His parents found out about it and gave him the option of ending all relations with this person right away or they would prosecute to fullest extent. His parents have gone so far as to keylog his computer to ensure he does as they've asked him. Now, he and this other person really want to be together, and aren't sure how. His parents told him that if he waited until he was 18 to be with this person they would still prosecute. He asked me to find out if that's true or not, and what options he would have. He is incredibly miserable and so is she, but he says he's willing to do whatever it takes to be with her. Can you help me help him?
I guess what i need to know is: what is the statute of limitations for these types of crimes in Georgia? What options does he have at this point until then?
Thank you!
