I'm 24 male in Tennessee and I'm having an online relationship with a 16 yr old in Ohio. Can I go to Ohio and have sex with her or is that against the law?

Why is it that humans are somewhat ok with an older man dating a younger woman but not the other way around? for example would you say it is wrong if a 23yr old female fell in love with an 18yr old male and why? To me age should not matter; as long as they are older than 16; I dont know how manytimes I have been told that age is only a number society puts apon you. Yet so many people have issues when it comes to love between an older woman and a younger man, why?

Please someone explain this to me.

My son has known his girlfriend for almost 3 years they are really close friends, well i just recently found out they are "attracted" to one another and want to date.
My question is would it be against the law in Ohio?
My son and i are close, we talk about everything and he is very mature for his age, he will be 15 in couple months and i would just like to know since he is younger wouldnt i have to press charges if someone began to ask questions about their relationship?
They are never alone, and promise me NO SEX has ever been had by the two of them..my son is actually a virgin and in no hurry for sex,i trust them completely and i just need some reassurrance they will be ok legally.

thank you all!

I'm 30 years old & I'm cool with a girl who's 17 & a half years old. All I do is talk to here every now & then when I can. We never had sex before. Can I get in trouble for this? I'm from new york & what is the consent age for that state

Pretty sure you can't get in trouble for just talking to her....then again if your conversations consist of sexual things, it's possible to get in trouble.

Can a 18 yo guy date a 17 yo girl even though he is an adult and she isn't and what if they have sex

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 05/27/2011 - 19:40.

I had a boy 15 fall in love with me, I am a lot older. I admit we had great conversations, then he said he loved me and wrote beautiful love letters and sent songs. I really liked this person and to be honest I never have been so happy. However, I told him he needed to tell his parents we were talking I did not want to get in trouble, 18 is legal, he couldn't talk to his parents, so I did a horrible thing and called them to tell them we were talking. The family turned on me and threatened me with a law suit, I never saw this kid we just talked. I know by calling I humiliated him, I am sick over the loss of a friend. and sick I hurt him, he is now stabbing me in the back and turned all friends we knew against me. I am trying to leave all this alone, but he is in my heart and mind, not sexually but a great friendship.

Why does it matter?.. I'm 21 and my gf is 14! 6 years difference! Some people are blind to see that if you love someone, nothing else matters. I love her, i love her family and we are planning on having a baby as soon as she turns 16. Never let anyone tell you who you can love. I could understand if i was 10 years older but 6 years? When she was born i was only 6 years old! Think about it!

When i was 13 i had sex with my bf who was 19, when my aunt found out she pressed charges on him and told me if i did not testify against him i would be leaving her house, with no where to go i testified. Now we are together for 2 years of not being together he has a son that child services took away from him because he is a registered sex offender FOR life. We had to pay a lawyer herebin nyc 2500 to get the order of protection removed, and he is on probation for 10 years. We are engaged to be married and we live together. Anyone can say at 13 i did not no what love was but i did and still do love him very much and he loves me very much as well. He was still a teenager when he was charged for making love to me. Its not fair for people to say who we can and cant love, you cant help who you fall in love with. Granted i do feel like young teenagers should not be having sex with someone who is old enough to be there parents, but in my case we were teens in love what is soooo wrong with that? Now we are saving up to hire a lawyer to try and get him off the sex offender registry, so he can try and get his son back and live a decent life.

I recently had someone living with me because she was going to be out on the streets. She needed a place to stay, so we (my wife and I) had her move in. My nephew visited a lot. This woman who was 28 at the time ended up sleeping with my nephew who was 17 at the time. Was this illegal? Could I get into trouble for finding out about this and not reporting this? I kicked her out of my house for the inappropriate behavior. Your advice is appreciated.

In 14, Thinking about sex. Im a virgin and have spoke about losing my virginity with this boy who is 16. But he is only a year above me at school. We are both virgins and im completly aware on the facts such as contraception, me being pregnaunt, wanting to go ahead with sex, and meant to be 16... Ive decided to wait till I am 15, (he will still be 16) -because I think I dont want to know I had sex for the very first time at 14. I trust him alot and I know for definate I can say No when ever I want and he wouldnt mind.
But then again Im afraid of the consequences. For example, if I am to be 15, and him 16, can he still get in trouble? And what would happen?
Ive searched hopelessly but havent found anything to match my question/situation. Thank you :)

Yet again, everyone showing their intelligence, some have the idea. Now please tell me what the point to a guy who is 19, gets a 15 year old prego, they have a kid, they are in love and you lock him up. What is accomplished by this, we dont have political prisons (might as well though). A prison is considered a rehabilitation facility, how are you going to rehabilitate him from loving the mother of his child? You will accomplish nothing by this, only breaking a family up. Now yes I do agree that she should not be having a kid at 15, but its also not unheard of. Ultimately it comes down to her decision, there are other methods out there if she does not want to give up her life, she could give the kid to him or put him up for adoption. Its all full of choices, but locking him up for that is unreasonable. There are cases where yes, there is something wrong, but each situation needs to be evaluated, and actual rehabilitation needs to happen, not just lock them up and release them later, you only scare him and not try to fix what is wrong. But in the 19-15 year old case, nothing is wrong with that. Statistically men show less maturity then women, so they most likely are equal.

I'm a 14 year old male.I've been having sex with a 34 year old woman since I was 10.She was 30 at the time,and I was 10.This has been going on for 4 years.One of my friends says it is rape that we are having sex,but I consented,and still do.I know she could get in trouble,as she has told me this.What I want to know,is can I get into trouble ? We both like,and enjoy our relationship.She has taught me a lot,and says I'm better than men her age .

If we both consent,I don't understand what the big deal is !

That is sick. You were 10 years old. How did you even know what to do. You should question her mental status for being with someone that young. She is a pedophile that's all there is to it

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 05/23/2011 - 10:40.

The problem is that the law does not allow you to consent until you reach the age of consent in your state. In most states that is 16. Once you are 16, and she is 36, as long as she is not an authority figure (teacher, church leader, etc.) you CAN consent. However, since this started when you were under 13, and the age difference is over 5 years, this is statutory rape. I know you consented, but this woman took advantage of you when you were too young to fully comprehend the consequences of your actions. She is by all definitions a pedophile and is guilty of child molestation.

PLEASE, talk to a school councilor about this. You need to have the opportunity to develop healthy relationships with girls your own age, without sex being the only purpose for the relationship. This is NOT a healthy relationship, mentally or physically.

I would have to say the laws as written only benefit business interests who profit from them. Look at all the laws being made for GPS units that don't control violent predators and the expense involved with it.

We are sexual human beings and have always been--the main question is--is the sex consensual or not? I was not stupid when I was a 15 year old girl--why do the laws think girls are? Why do the laws believe that boys are more mature--emotional they have been shown not to be--

The majority of the people on the sex offender registry are non-violent (look at the Justice of Department research) and yet we keep condeming them and publically shaming them for the rest of their lives for being sexual for teenage love affairs (and where did someone draw the line at how many years apart?), streaking, or taking a leak at an inopportune moment. Major-major majority of sex crimes are from family members --not someone on the registry.

While the government is so focused on making everyone a sex offender we are losing sight of the really violent predators--so sad.

To protect our children we need to step back and reform these laws into something that takes non-violent people off the registry and focuses on violent people and the sick families who hurt their own children.

This happened to me. I was 17 and became involved in a relationship with an older married female teacher(36) with two kids. This "relationship" lasted for over three decades in some form or another. It was like we were obsessed with other, but not in a healthy way. I am 50 now and we finally have given up on trying to be friends. In many respect the relationship was consensual. Certainly I have to take responsibility for continuing it for so many years and not breaking free. But in retrospect it was not a healthy relationship. I was in over my head emotionally and today I feel I was not mature enough to realize the implications for my future when I got involved. The sexual part of the relationship lasted 10 years. Since then I have been unable to maintain any kind of healthy sexual realtionships with women and have had chronic addiction problems. I have been in support groups where I have heard similar stories from other men that lost their virginity to older women in authority positions. I have been forced to conclude that older female/ younger male relationships that start before the male has had adequate peer socialization are extremely harmful- much more harmful in fact than older men/ younger women relationships. Of course the societal message is totally opposite. But my own experience is that these relationships can be very damaging to the male. This societal attitude also contributes to the harm done to the male by contributing to the state of denial that anything is wrong . Reading the poll results was very depressing. I wanted a category that said it was more harmful, but we are so in denial as a culture that this option wasn't even considered. Some males may emerge from such relationships unscathed, but this situation is playing with fire. Many young men have been burned for life.

If a 21 yr old female is dating a 16 year old male can she get in trouble by the law in the State of Washington? There's no sex involved. Even if there is sex involved would she get in trouble? will it ruin a career in the Criminal Justice Department?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 05/23/2011 - 10:43.

As far as I know, there are no laws defining what ages can date. Since there is a 5 year age difference, it is possible, depending on the law in Washington, that sexual contact could be illegal. As long as there is no sex, then at worst, there would be the social stigma of the age difference.
