I am an 18 year old male living in the state of GA. I am currently dating a 14 year old. We were wondering what the laws were on that. Some have told us that there are "indecency with mionors" laws saying that even though she consents to whatever we might do that is physical (we both do not believe in premarital sex)that I can be put in jail because she's a minor and I'm not. We have also heard that anything physical, even a kiss on the lips, is considered child molestation. What are the correct laws? Are we doin anything wrong? HELP US!!!!
The child molestation law in Georgia reads "any immoral or indecent act...with the intent to satisfy the sexual desires of either the child or the person," so a peck on the lips or holding hands wouldn't apply. However, touching of sexual organs, buttocks, her breasts, etc., would be prohibited by law. Oral sex is also prohibited, carrying a 10-30 year sentence. The restrictions apply until she turns 16, the age of consent in Georgia.
