answered on Nov 22, 2022
I agree with Penny that you need to retain a lawyer. The range of punishment for this offense will depend on what substance is in the edibles and on the amount that were in the car. An attorney can review the discovery and assess the evidence to determine if there was probable cause for the... Read more »

Just how does it work if someones age of consent is like 18 and the other partys is 16.* It cut it off
answered on Nov 18, 2022
A person's age of consent is based on his/her location or conduct at the time of particular actions. There is not a situation that I can think of where two different people doing the same thing in the same place have different ages of consent.
For example, in Texas, the age of consent... Read more »

The short answer to your question is yes, a person can be charged with a criminal offense under the situation you describe. Whether the State can prove these allegations beyond a reasonable doubt, however, is a different matter. Start calling lawyers in your area. Good luck.
