You should immediately hire a criminal defense attorney with experience in juvenile law and do not talk to the police unless that attorney advises otherwise. The child's future may depend on how well you handle this situation. It is serious.

A person under age 14 cannot consent to sex. So there is a presumption if is without consent.

If the 16 year old is more than 3 years older that the 13 year old, that is another problem. While on paper it looks like 3 years, it depends on when the birthdays fall. 13 year old could have... View More

You have the right to enter a plea of not guilty and force the State to prove any allegation against you beyond a reasonable doubt. No one in this forum, however, can accurately evaluate your probability of success, since we don't know the evidence the State has in its possession. Start... View More

Define date. Any Sexual Contact between the 2 of them is a felony, and anything that you sign acknowledging their relationship makes you subject to criminal prosecution.

Yes, but the charges may be filed in the juvenile court and not the criminal court. File the report with the police, and the DA wil determine how to proceed.
