15 AND 18
Utah
My daughter is 15 and has gotten pregnant by an 18 year old boy. Do I have any recourse to charge him with 'statutory rape'? In the state of Utah, the legal age someone may consent to engage in sexual contact is 16. Given that she is 15 years of age, the 18 year old may be found in violation of the following law. 76-5-401. Unlawful sexual activity with a minorElements -- Penalties -- Evidence of age raised by defendant. |
