my daughter was sexually molested by a female

:: September 14, 2004 01:43

I'm just wondering what the laws are on a 18 year old female molesting my daughter two year old daughter.

Any sexual contact by the 18 year old would be sexual battery, gross sexual impostion, and unlawful sexual conduct. All three of these, in the state of Ohio would be considered third degree felonies. Also, if there was any vaginal insertion, eg. penetration with fingers, or any other body part etc, that person would also have committed rape, which is a first degree felony.

Two minors - 15 and 11

:: September 01, 2004 03:18

what are the laws on sexual relations between 2 minors, a boy 15 and a girl 11 going on 12? Is it statutory rape even though both parties decided together to experiment sexually? And what are the penalties involved ...and is there a statute of limitations on when the boy would have to be taken into custody if things proceed that far?

Due to the girl's young age, the boy would be committing a crime of rape. As he is 15, at the discretion of the juvenile court judge, he could be tried as an adult, and would face a sentence of 3-10 years in prison, without the possibility of parole, as well as having to register as a sex offender upon release. If he his tried as a juvenile, he would placed in the custody of youth services for 1-3 years. The statute of limitation for this crime is 20 years.

18 with a 15 year old

I need to know the statutory rape laws in Ohio, and soon. What would happen to an 18 year old prosecuted for having sex with a 15 year old?

It's illegal. As the difference is less than 4 years, it's a first degree misdemeanor, with a maximum penalty of 6 months in jail and a $1000 fine.
