My boyfriend and I were naked because we were going to have sex and the cops came. there was no proof that we were going to have sex so no charges were pressed, but there is a warning out. Can we legally date? or do we have to wait until im 16?

Question Revisions: based on information from email correspondence: "The 18 year old in this matter has been instructed by a judge not to see the minor and has been issued a warning instead of facing criminal charges."

See revision below. Dating without sexual contact is legal as long as the parents of the minor consent to the dating relationship. There can be no sexual contact. If the 18 year old has received a warning, he could be taking a legal risk if he is found alone or in a compromising situation with the 15 year old; or, if the 15 year old's parents do not condone the dating relationship.

Below are the definitions provided in the laws of Washington.

Washington State Law
RCW 9A.44.010
Definitions.
(1) "Sexual intercourse" (a) has its ordinary meaning and occurs upon any penetration, however slight, and

(2) "Sexual contact" means any touching of the sexual or other intimate parts of a person done for the purpose of gratifying sexual desire of either party or a third party.

Response revisions: If a judge has instructed the 18 year old not to see the "minor" and has been given a chance to avoid a criminal prosecution, it is absolutely in the best interest of the 18 year old to follow the instructions of the judge. The 18 year old carries 100% of the legal risk in this situation if he is seen with the minor and it is reported back to the judge. It is likely the judge will not respond favorably. The 18 year old and the minor should not date each other at this time.
