Can my 18yr old boyfriend get in trouble for being with me?

Question

My name is Amanda, I am a 15yr old, Freshman, at Williamsfeild High, in Arizona. I just recently started dating my boyfriend, JD. JD is 18 years old, and he is a senior at my school. My Mom does not have any issue with us being together. Before things get too serious in our relationship, I want too make sure that he can't get in any trouble for being with me. So basicaly what I am asking is: Can he get in any trouble with the law because of me? And if I consent to having sex with him, will he get in trouble for that?

Answer 1

You can get in trouble. Im in the exact same situation. Just lay low to stay out of trouble.. Its a little different when you turn 16.

Answer 2

So your mom is fine with you having sex with an 18 year old guy? Is your life so boring or empty that you can't wait a few years to get serious with some guy? Aren't there things that you want to do or accomplish? I suppose I just don't understand the need for having sex at your age. And, yes--it's called statutory rape, so he could get in trouble. I wonder why he can't find someone his own age or be mature enough to realize you might just be a little young. But then, I am over 30, so what do I know?

Answer 3

You are not old enough to have consent so yes, if you have sex he can get arrested. Men these days have issues. They need to date people their own age and not little girls way younger. Basically when a man is a certain amount of years older and the girl is still under 16 she is considered still a child that even if you consent your consent doesn't count because you are too young to know any better. So if your parents ever get mad at him or whatever they can charge him with statutory rape.



ALSO NEVER EVER TELL WHERE YOU ARE FROM ONLINE! Some old guy with no life could have looked at this and thought hey here is this 15 year old, really naive, that I am going to drive down and kidnap. I know exactly what state and highschool and name. Foolish girl. You better delete this question.

Answer 4

Well he is only 3 years older than you wich in my opinion is not a big deal at all. Some states have a 4 year law, but the truth is if you have sex with him YES he can be charged with statutory rape even with your consent, this goes for anyone 18 and above even if you were only a year younger(in my opinion is stupid). but you are young and in my opinion the best thing to do is not to sleep with him, because can you really see yourself with him for the rest of your life? this kind of thing happens all the time so most people dont worry about it too much, and you can make your own choices...just think about the consequences and weigh them out, but yes there is a risk.

Answer 5

He will only get in trouble if you or someone like your mom (or any other adult) gets him in trouble. It is against the law for the two of you to have sex, but the cops won't come after you for it unless someone else takes issue and brings it up to them.

I wouldn't recommend having sex at your age though, even if you are mature. Sex is better left for later, because whoever you have sex with will end up meaning a lot to you, and it will be all the more worse when it's over. You should wait to have sex until you are in love. And when that happens, you'll know (trust me, if you've only been together for a few months, it's not love, even if you really, really, really, like him).

Answer 6

In the state of Arizona you must be 18 years old to consent to have sex. Should you and your boyfriend have sex and get caught (or if one of your parents decides they don't like the kid and report him) he can be charged with statutory rape.

To be more specific: Arizona has classified sex with minors (who are between the ages of 15-17) as a class 6 felony. A class 6 felony is a one year stint in prison for the first offense.

Also under A.R.S. § 13-382 he will have to register as a sex offender.

Answer 7

Well technically, if someone finds out. yeah he can. but why would anyone care?



i was with a bunch of older guys when i was 15 even a 21 year old no joke.



And they're still out of jail.



Please, please don't have sex with him. All of these older boys that i had sex with were USING me.



DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH HIM. Wait til you've been together for a year, hey, DON'T EVEN GIVE HIM HEAD AND DON'T LET HIM TOUCH YOU



test him to see if he wants you for you, or if he is just taking advantage of you.



how long have you been dating him? If it's been a short time and hes already talking about sex STOP STOP STOP THATS A REALLY BAD SIGN DON'T TALK TO HIM ANYMORE



I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but i lost my v-card to my boyfriend of 19 years old when i was only fifteen. It really ruined my life and broke my heart. I'm not the same person that I was before that day.



Please, whatever you do it's FINE to be with him as long as you are not having sex with him until you've dated for a long time.



you will get USED otherwise. it feels awful. :( so don't do it.

Answer 8

In Arizona:



1) If the minor is under age 15, five years in prison; (2) if the offender is at least age 18 or is tried as an adult and the minor was age 12 or younger, life in prison and the offender is ineligible for release until serving 35 years; (3) if the offender is at least 18 or tried as an adult and the victim is age 12, 13, or 14, the presumptive sentence is 20 years; or (4) if the minor is at least age 15, it is punishable by one year in prison



P.S. You should not be publishing identifying details about yourself (like your school) on the internet.

Answer 9

LOL, no, he wont get in trouble.......................... UNTIL PEOPLE FIND OUT!!!!!!

Then, he's a CHILD SEX OFFENDER..... Easy as that, it doesnt matter if your consenting or not. He is old enough to know that having sex with a minor is ILLEGAL and he will pay a high price for his actions when it goes to court. And it will end up in court if you are asking questions like that in a place like this. Secondly, if your asking, basically, THE WHOLE WORLD on here, I'd hate to think how many people where you live have already heard about it..

You need to stop ******* this ADULT and start thinking about growing up a little.

Answer 10

He can get in trouble for dating a minor. He is 18 and considered an adult. You are 15 and considered a minor. If you two have sex, (it doesn't matter if it's consensual or not) he can go to jail. An 18 year old having sex with a 15 year old is statuitory rape.

Answer 11

You are a minor and he's not. Question answered. It's actually kind of sick that an 18 year old would be interested in a 15 year old little girl. It's weird. Also, 15 is too young to have sex. You're all screwed up!

Answer 12

going by the website below, since he's more than 2 years older, sex wouldn't be legal.

I'm not a legal expert at all, but I figure if no one else found out, there wouldn't be much the police could do about it.

To go off on a tangent, they have these laws for a reason. I can't tell you how to live your life, but don't rush into things. My gut says it's a little sketchy for him to be dating a 15 year old, but I could easily be wrong.

Answer 13

Your boyfriend JD can get in trouble, but only if he does something to you that you do not like. Technically the only way he can get in trouble is if you tell on him since you are just a minor. JD just has to be careful with what he does with you and around you.

Answer 14

Yes, and forever he will have to register as a sex offender. He will have to report to every employer what the charges were for til the day he dies. He won't be able to live a normal life. Jail, possible prison ( they would make lunch meat out of your boyfriend). It doesn't matter if both of your parents are okay with it, if the athoritys step in, it is out of all of you hands and he will be the one to suffer the consequences not you. You will be able to freely go to college, and make something out of your life, no questions asked. You would be able to get married without mentioning to your husband that you are a registered sex offender, and you will be able to pick you kids up from school where he won't even be aloud to do that. It wouldn't be fare to him or to everyone involved in his future. You both may get married some day, but having to register as a sex offender wouldn't go away. You really need to think about what your actions might do to someone you care deeply for.

Answer 15

Amanda, I'm no expert on this but I think so. Being "you" (a person) becomes an adult at 18, and you're still considered and are a "child." If anything "serious" (sexually) happens, he'll have to register as a Sex Offender. I'm not saying this to scare you, I'm telling you what I know about it. Good luck!!!

Answer 16

Here's the pertinent Arizona law. You can see the whole law at

http://moraloutrage.net/staticpages/index.php?page=Arizona



"13-1405. Sexual conduct with a minor; classifications



A. A person commits sexual conduct with a minor by intentionally or knowingly engaging in sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact with any person who is under eighteen years of age.



B. Sexual conduct with a minor who is under fifteen years of age is a class 2 felony and is punishable pursuant to section 13-604.01. Sexual conduct with a minor who is at least fifteen years of age is a class 6 felony. Sexual conduct with a minor who is at least fifteen years of age is a class 2 felony if the person is the minor's parent, stepparent, adoptive parent, legal guardian or foster parent and the convicted person is not eligible for suspension of sentence, probation, pardon or release from confinement on any basis except as specifically authorized by section 31-233, subsection A or B until the sentence imposed has been served or commuted."



As you can see, there is no "age-gap" provision in the state of Arizona.

Answer 17

Dont listen to the others.

There is no such thing as 'automatic rape', fag.



Yeah, he is over the legal age and you are under, but as long as you are okay with having sex with him it is okay. Just make sure you dont let the wrong people know about it because rumours can start and you dont want incorrect info getting out.



Btw, I know all this cause I have been in your situation before :]

Answer 18

The only way that he can get in trouble is if you to actually have sex. That is considered rape since he is an adult now and your considered a minor.





YES, he will get in trouble for having sex with you. Unless you both are 18 and older it isnt illegal. That is the only way that he can get in trouble.



So be careful ;)

Answer 19

Why did you tell us, your name, age, what school you go to, and the state. That was kind of stupid.



He cannot get in trouble with being with him, you cannot have sex with him because that will be statuatory rape, which is rape of a minor, even if you are ok with having sex. When you turn 18 then you are fine.

Answer 20

Probably. He could be prosecuted for statutory rape, sent to prison and labeled a sex offender for the rest of his life. He may be restricted in the places he's allowed to live and may have real trouble finding a job. He may be barred completely from getting the job he wants. His life could be ruined. Don't have sex with him if you care about him at all.

Answer 21

consentual sex, no he won't get in trouble. but it all depends on where u live bcuz here in florida the age range is 16-24 then 18-18+. so it's best to look it up for your state first. and if ur state says the age range isn't accepted and he rapes u or the sex IS NOT consentual then he'll get in trouble.

Answer 22

You will get answers for sure. But do you realize you have identified your self in detail? How many Amandas are there who are freshmen at this high school? Not too wise.



THIS OF COURSE COULD BE A GIANT HOAX, CLEVER BUT A HOAX JUST THE SAME.

Answer 23

Yes, considering you are actually in Arizona, if your over 15 your partner has to be within 2 years of your age.

Answer 24

it is a bit wierd..can he not find anyone closer to his age..no offense to him but is he dating you because no one his age would touch him with a 5ft pole..it sounds a bit strange..not later in life but at this stage it is wierd because ur both in diffrent places in ur life..you starting highschool and he is going to collage!!

to anserw your question

1. no not for dating you ..might be called a pedaphile though..sorry but its true

2. Sex... yes legal age of consent is 17..anything younger is illegal and he will get arrested for it..arnt you a bit young anyway for starting a relationship like that...statistics show that highschool relationships once sex is introduced normally last at most 2 weeks..sorry but its true

dont be a miley cyrus

run for the hill

find someone closer to your age..

for your and his sake

Answer 25

well i did lose my virginity as the age of 15..but i learned the hard way! Do not have sex under the age of 18. Wait until your married!

Answer 26

yeah, the law well think of that as rapping or sexule chile abuse...

im 14 and i even know that...and your saying ur gunna have sex with an 18 year old isnt that kinda slutish...

girl find a guy thats your age... im just trying to say hes gunna use you for sex..

Answer 27

Yes he can. At 15 you are a minor. You do not have the right to consent to sex w/ anyone. He is an adult. Your parents could have him charged w/ statutory rape.

Answer 28

No as long as your parents are fine with you dating him, hes fine. I know bc I always dating older guys and I too was affraid of that. But I checked up on it & its all up to your mom & dad to get him in trouble. Just don't get knocked up cus then theyll probally get mad and do something you dont want them to. Good Luck!!

Answer 29

he will for sure get in trouble if you have sex, no matter if you consented or not. but other than that you should be fine. just don't have sex with him, and if you do, DO NOT tell anyone



best of luck in your relationship <3

Answer 30

yes he can get in a lot of trouble. because even if you give consent someone could press charges. cuz legally ur not of age to be making that sort of decision

Answer 31

I believe it does not make a differance if you give your consent or not, it is considered child molestation.

so what i am saying is it wont get him in trouble, just in jail for a few years.

Answer 32

yea!!! beacuse you a minor someone (anyone uncle dad friends w/e) can call the cops on him and he will get locked up if he was doing something bad (even like geting you a hiky in public will get u in trouble)

so BE carfull

Answer 33

even if u consent he WILL get into trouble. its called statutory rape. research your state and the laws , but most states is 18+ im sure

Answer 34

yes u guys can get into trouble but who is gonna tell that u guys r going out so i would just go ahead if he gets into trouble he should of thought of that before he went out with u

Answer 35

well i'm sorry but he can get in trouble if something goes wrong. if you can wait till your 16, if he loves you and you him it can wait. there are other things that can be done together. if you can wait, well be sure and take precautions. good luck be safe. remember, when it comes down to it its you and your life that matters.

Answer 36

Yes he will get in trouble!!!!

It is illegal in Arizona



Some states have close-in-age exceptions, but

Arizona does not



New Mexico does, though

Answer 37

um yea... cuz ur jail bait.. and u can get him in trouble if u decide that he touch u wrong and blah blah. so he gets the blame and u run off scott free.. dont get that boy in trouble and find someone ur age to get with..

Answer 38

STATUTORY RAPE. But don't worry, you will get put in treatment programs and get in trouble as well. They might even give you a status offense!

Answer 39
