Your Opinion: If a male student under age 18 has consensual sex with a female school teacher, is he the "Victim" of a crime?

Ok so I am a 14 year old male and I would like to have sexual relations with an 18 y/o. Will this be possible or will she get into trouble?

its not fair that a 15 year old grabs a hand of a 40 year old and places it in her pants and the male pulls his hand out .and pushes her off . and he is charged with rape

My wife and I are on a BDSM dating site. We recently struck up a conversation with a young lady who had on her profile she was 18. We didn't get into anything explicit, but we had general conversations.

There was a desire to go a little further, and knowing she had been with an older man when she was still illegal, I asked to verify her date of birth. As it turns out, she was 8 days from being 18. I am 30, my wife is 29. So I told her it was a federal crime to talk about, or transmit sexual related material to a person under the age of 18 via the internet, and if she would like to continue she would need to wait until her birthday. I also agreed that until then I could talk to her about her day or whatever as long as I was not talking to her about sexual topics.

I know 8 days isn't a long time, however I am a stickler for the law.

Anyhow, my wife pointed out to her that I was not allowed to talk to her about sexual topics, but that there was no law that said she could not talk to me about them, so she decided to get very graphic sending me IM's over yahoo. I did not respond to her comments.

Now it is still 4 days away, and she is going to call today.

Is it illegal to discuss adult topics over the phone?
It is illegal for her to talk to me while I don't respond on yahoo?

Other things to note. Her state age of consent is 17. Mine is 16. She is sending words only, no nude photos.

My ex-boyfriend's younger brother was 14 and a virgin when he had sex with a woman who was about 30. I can tell you quite definitely he didn't think of himself as a victim. He thought of himself as hot stuff! :D

so...the 18 yr old guy sleeping with his soon to be 17 yr old girlfriend is getting the same punishment as the 60 yr old man who is taking advantage of the 14 yr old girl?... please...

this law is important... to an extent... girls do lie about their age, but, i think the law would be better served if it were to be that the adult were over 25 or 30.

Your retarded. If your old enough to drive in most states (16) shouldn't you legally be able to participate in sexual activities? If your old enough to enlist (17) and die/kill for your country shouldn't you be able to have sex? The kids are gonna do it anyway so why set them up to get into trouble over something that is part of nature and everyone's life?

P.S - your a faggot

It is "Forcible rape" when a woman is forced to have sex against her will. It is a criminal sexual offense and should be reported to authorities as soon as possible.

Im dating this guy that is 17 and im 14 its 3 years apart is that considered illegal if we have sex and i get pregnant? what would happen?

Submitted by administrator on Sun, 08/01/2010 - 05:56.

All states in the US have different laws pertaining to "Age of consent" and "Statutory rape" so you'd have to check the laws for the state where you reside; however, generally speaking, the average age for all US States and Federal Statutory rape laws is 16. Chances are, you're boyfriend may be facing some legal trouble, and most certainly child support issues if you are 14 and pregnant.

If a 24 year old has consentual sex with a 16 year old in the state of Mississippi can he get charged with statutory rape?

Submitted by Irene (not verified) on Mon, 07/05/2010 - 17:53.

I started having sex at the age of 14 (with both boys < 18 and adults > 18), and I've never considered "reporting" my relations to authorities, etc. Why the hell I should, if I'm having a pleasure time and I love it?

For the love of God, someone change the sex laws.

P.S. I've never had STD or gave birth as teen, just in case. Learn how to use a condom.

MANY 17 year old females have older bf's. No, he is NOT a loser. At least he maintained a relationship and later married her, I'd call that love.

If she's of consentual age (in their state) then there are no repercussions in the future, especially considering she's now your wife.

Make a law that if you are 13,14,15,16,17 year old that both parents are responsible for the hospital BILL 50/50, not us as Americans. OK, now we let 13+ year old girls and 13+ year old boys have sex and they end up have a baby and nothing happens to them??????????? Why is that and us as Americans take care of them and the BILL. At least a 18 teen year old can get a full-time job and take care of that kid. So,lets MAKE A LAW THAT ANY UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE OF DAY, MALE OR FEMALE, FACE PUNISHMENT AND THE PARENTS ALSO, AND PAY ALL HOSPITAL BILLS AND FINES FORM PUNISHMENT!!!!!!!!

your 'poll' rolls all female-teacher perpetrators into the same mold, by listing 'under 18' as your 'victim' pool. this is rather disingenuous. in many states, the age of consent varies, and a 17 year old male (or female) may indeed be of an age to consent. it also ignores situations where the legal minor may actually be in college or another situation. as in many sex cases, a blanket prohibition can cause just as many problems as no regulation. these are complex areas, and trying to categorize all situations in a single 18=legal, <18=illegal does a disservice both to real victims, and potential defendants.

compare the 17 male to the 12 year old male, or, for that matter, the 12 year old to the 8 year old - dramatically different in terms of maturity.

legislation cannot manufacture a 'one-size-fits-all' solution to these complex problems, and polling your readers in such a way implies there is a single simple solution.

I am so glad that now at the age of 50 that these discussions weren't out in the open when I was 13....If it had been like it is now, the 37 y.o. that seduced me and schooled me over the summer, would probably have never done so.....I also thank the fact that even though she did it, that I should never seek out minor ladies after I came of age...I will say though that it took me about 5 tries to break the habit before I gave up on pretty teenagers....Now I like all ladies 18 and over only....

I am 15 years old born in January of 95' and I know yes I am young. I am a male... so this is more peculiar and possibly quite different. The *female* I wish to see is 19 years old born October of 90'. The age difference between us is 4 years. I want to know if she would be breaking the law by engaging in sexual activity with me. I also want to know what would get us into trouble. I do not know and do not believe anybody i know of would press charges upon us, and because of this would there be no conflict. I also want to know all information specific to OHIO and up to recent date (I have seen different versions of law on the net as far back as 61' and I have seen them referred to). As much of the information I will give is that we are both highly interested in one another, neither are against us being sexually active (with the exception of the reason being the law), my parents are not against it, and this is a case I have seen where the male is the younger of the two. The age of consent in Ohio is i believe to be 16. I know that there is or was a law that pertained to 4 years. I know that the law was made because it could corrupt a minor and of coarse everyone is against and older man raping a little girl. I am quite mature but i know the laws are only relating to ages and occupations. Finally, laws are meant to keep people out of harm and certainly other reasons, but in these cases to keep the victims out of harm. Since I would not be harmed in any way, would that be part of a decent argument? I do not believe I have any other information that I need to add other than that in your responses you label what is actual law and what your opinion is. I would like to know both.

So what if a 17 yr old girl declared mentally ill gets a job and her 50+yr old married boss hits on her and she didn't realize until later that she was being sexually harassed. When she was 18 yrs of age that he gained the girls trust and convinced her that sex was ok, that it didn't mean anything and he wouldn't hurt her, that it was like a fun game cause he knew she liked games and eventually she allowed him to have sex with her.

Is that considered consent even though the 50+ married male knew the girl wasn't mentally capable of making that decision?

someone pls respond ty.

check with your local statutes/law enforcement officers, however, one of the many prongs (or ways to prove the case) of rape is diminished intellectual functioning. just as young minors (under 18) are legally incapable of giving consent, an adult with developmental delays may be also incapable of giving legal consent.

your question did not indicate what the diagnosis of the 'mental illness' is - this can make a significant difference to your local prosecutor/district attorney.

she should also see a mental health professional, regardless of whether the conduct is prosecuted, the repercussions of the event is likely to be traumatic for her.

That's considered statutory rape. Your boyfriend can get a bit of prison time for even being with you.
