Is it illegal for me to date someone who is 13 when i am 17 with a 3 and a half year age difference?
I live in Alabama
Best Answer:
there are 2 issues. The actual law concerning statuatory rape comes into play for ANYONE under the age of 16. The age difference is involved, one and only between 16-18. What you might be forgetting is that the law recognizes the authority of the parent to control what the 13 yr old does, sex or no sex. Meaning, what the parent say (even concerning dates) IS the law. You could be violating the law if you flout their direct orders to not be involved with the child.. You are playing with fire, any way you go.
What part of statutory rape don't you understand?
There are no laws that govern 'dating', the laws come into play when any type of sexual contact is made. In that valise, then yes it is illegal. 13A-6-62. Rape in the second level A male commits the crime of rape in the second degree if : Being 16 years matured or older, he engages in sexual intercourse beside a female less than 16 and more than 12 years old; provided, however, he is at tiniest two years older than the female. He engages within sexual intercourse with a female who is incapable of consent by reason of person mentally defective.
Yes it's unlawful
Yes it's illegal... why do you want to date a child?
Dating: no. Sex: yes.
Maybe not illegal, but very, very, VERY adjectives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have you ever heard the expression: "Jail Bait" ? .
date is one thing. if you touch her you are guilty of a felony. time to verbs. this girl will be unavailable to you for five years. try hanging out with relations your own age.
most state laws have a "Romeo and Juliet" clause contained by statutory rape determination. It exempts age differences of up to 4 years from statutory rape. The age differential limit varies from state to state.
