Georgia

i am 14 and i have sex with my 16 year old boyfriend will he automatically go to jail or can he avoid going to jail altogether ?

He can be charged with a misdemeanor crime. Whether or not jail time is part of his sentence would be up to the court.

16-6-3.(c) If the victim is at least 14 but less than 16 years of age and the person convicted of statutory rape is 18 years of age or younger and is no more than four years older than the victim, such person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

Misdemeanor punishments do not exceed 12 months in jail or $1000 in fines.
