My 16y/o daughter has been staying with my brother in-law and sister in Arkansas to help with babysitting. My brother in-law has admitted to fondling/kissing my 16 y/o daughter who has now been removed from this situation and is back home with me in NY. Is there any prosecution or legal avenues that I can pursue. If it makes any difference, the brother in-law is 34 and a Doctor in the state. Thanks.

Your best course of action would be to contact the District Attorney's office, also known as the Prosecuting Attorney, in the jurisdiction where this took place and ask these questions. Under Arkansas code, the age a person can legally consent to sexual contact is 16; however, it the age is 18 in situations where the perpetrator is a "guardian" or in a position of authority. It would be up to a District Attorney to determine if a case could be filed under current statute. There may also be issues of professional ethics depending on his field or position as doctor.
