Q: I'm talking to a 12 year old and I'm 16 and she wants to date but her parents don't allow it would I go to jail
A: I generally don't like to answer these questions because you sir are playing with dynamite. Sure you could have a platonic relationship but anything more would be disastrous to your future. Involuntary deviate sexual intercourse carries with it lifetime megans law registration and potential jail time. You are in the window of where you could be charged if you ever had any sort of romantic contact with her. The rule reads anyone under the age of sixteen if the other person is four or more years older. SO the answer to your question is maybe, and you should think about whether being tainted as a sex offender for the rest of your life is worth it.
