Q: Is it legal for an eighteen year old boy to date 15 year old girl if parents forbid it...if so what are the consequences
What is the lae
A: Well...he might get a fist in the mouth from the girl's father. There's not really anything illegal about the 18 year old 'dating' a 15 year old. However, it gets to be a legal problem if 'dating' means 'having sexual relations.' If you are having sex with this 18 year old guy, then he is committing a felony offense that could make him a sex offender. Older guys like to 'date' younger girls because they tend to have more influence over the girl...that is the guy can get in the 15 year-old girl's pants more easily than they can get in the pants of girls their own age. Don't let this hero take advantage of you! If you like the guy, keep it on a non-sexual level. If the guy pressures you for sex...'If you REALLY love me, you'll let me do it!' He's showing his colors as a predator...run the other way! Oh...one more thing...oral sex is out, too. That's also a sex offense when he's 18 and you are 15.
