Statutory Rape?
Georgia
I wanted to know what the charges were, if there are any, on a 19 year old male who had oral sex with with a 16 year old female? Even if, it was with the consent the 16 year old females consent. Also, if there is punishment what type of action should one take? Thank You!
In the state of Georgia, a 16 year old may no longer be a victim of statutory rape. At 16 years of age, a minor may legally consent to sexual activity. If any sexual activity occurred between the 19 year old and the 16 year old, no sexual offense law has been violated; however, the 16 year old is still a minor and the parents are still the legally and finanically responsible guardians.
It may be in the parent's best interest to speak with law enforcement directly, the District Attorney, or a private attorney to discuss the risks posed to your minor child by the 19 year old. If there is any drug activity, smoking, drinking, missing school, or if the 19 year old transports the 16 year old anywhere without the parents’ knowledge or permission, there may be other laws (besides sex laws) that a parent can invoke to protect their minor child.

i know of a woman with 2 children (15 yo F and 2 yo M) who is seeing a convicted and registered sex offender. This woman allows this man to be around her children in her presence. Is this legal? Right now she has custody of the children. If she is allowing this, can her rights be terminated?
This depends on a number of issues. Not all people on the sex offender registry are child predators or violent sex offenders. There are many whose convictions are not related to children and are not considered violent in nature. Aside from the "ick" factor, it really depends on his conviction; whether he is still on parole and whether the terms of his parole are violated if he is seeing a woman with children in the home. As far as terminating the mother's parental rights, that would be up to the State and there is really no way for us to answer that question responsibly.

just found out that my 15 year old had sex with an 18 year old--might be 17 but is a senior. He drove her to his house then had sexual intercourse-she was a virgin when this happened. This happened last Friday. What does that law state related to this issue.
Thank you,
Concerned Dad
