TWO MINORS

Oregon

I would like to know if a crime has been committed if two minors one of 17 and the other of 13 have sex and if so what is the punishment?

This is an illegal sexual act between minors. Due to the fact that the 17 year old is more than 3 years older than the 13 year old, he would be considered the perpetrator and the 13 year old the victim. A family court judge would rule on the matter and "could" recommend the 17 year old be charged as an adult. There is no way for us to tell you what the punishment, if any, might be in legal matters involving juveniles.
