My friend is 13 & her boyfriend is gonna turn 17 in Aug.15. & they both live in florida. He got her pregnant. So can he get in trouble for this? i cant stop asking people this question.
(a) A person who intentionally touches in a lewd or lascivious manner the breasts, genitals, genital area, or buttocks, or the clothing covering them, of a person less than 16 years of age, or forces or entices a person under 16 years of age to so touch the perpetrator, commits lewd or lascivious molestation.
2. An offender 18 years of age or older who commits lewd or lascivious molestation against a victim 12 years of age or older but less than 16 years of age commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
This would only happen if your friend, her parents or child protective services decided to press criminal charges.
I don’t think so.
But once he hits 18 it’s goign to be a completely different problem .
And getting preggy at 13 is awful you are fully develpoed yet to actually give birth .
yes. she has to be at least 16. he probably will get in trouble, unless her parents don’t press charges. and it’s not like they won’t have evidence, because they can do a paternity test on the baby.
although there’s a 4 year difference I don’t think this is anything illegal because they are both under 18. this is however terribly disturbing, 13 year olds shouldn’t be having sex. coarse 17 year olds shouldn’t be either…
Well for starters that’s wrong and disgusting. Now to the question, if the age of consent is 16 where you live then yes he can get put in prison because she can not consent but he can by law, however if the age of consent is 18 then no he can’t go to jail. Hope this helps.
no i dont think so their both still a minors. he would get in trouble if he was 18 years old cause he would be considered as an adult. The age of consent is 16 in Florida.
It depends on what the age of consent is in florida.But even if it is legal what he’s morally wrong to take advantage of a girl so young.Even though it’s only four years it’s still a big age difference in your teens.Anyway go to wikipedia.org and look up age of consent in your state.
Oh my god ok YES he’s in deep crap. It’s statutory rape and if someone charges him, he’s screwed. Even is she consented or not. He’s going to jail for a long time and is registered as a sex offender if he gets a trial.
u know its illegal to have sex at 13 lol. so yea its called statutory rape he will go to jail. plus in a nother year they will deff be screwed why would a 17 year old want a lil girl any way

According to Florida Law:
LEWD OR LASCIVIOUS MOLESTATION. –
(a) A person who intentionally touches in a lewd or lascivious manner the breasts, genitals, genital area, or buttocks, or the clothing covering them, of a person less than 16 years of age, or forces or entices a person under 16 years of age to so touch the perpetrator, commits lewd or lascivious molestation.
2. An offender 18 years of age or older who commits lewd or lascivious molestation against a victim 12 years of age or older but less than 16 years of age commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
This would only happen if your friend, her parents or child protective services decided to press criminal charges.

lol.
yup he’s screwed;
shoulda checked the law first eh?
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
Yes. Her dad could (and probably should) beat the crap out of him.
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
I’m not sure about Florida but in the UK it would be illegal and he’d almost certainly go to jail.
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
no, you get an award
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
umm anytime you get someone pregnant, there’s gonna be an issue.
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
i actually dont tihnk so hes not an adult yet.
this might just be in PA though?
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
I don’t think so.
But once he hits 18 it’s goign to be a completely different problem .
And getting preggy at 13 is awful you are fully develpoed yet to actually give birth .
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
well it depends, hes under the legal limit and shes under the legal limit, so it could go either way.
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
Yes, he can go to jail.
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
hopefully he will
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
Because he is older than 16 it’s classed as peodophilia.
:s
I think.
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
ohh yes.thats i think cardnial knowlege of a juvinile. if you over 2 years age its illegal.
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
yes. she has to be at least 16. he probably will get in trouble, unless her parents don’t press charges. and it’s not like they won’t have evidence, because they can do a paternity test on the baby.

12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
2 years older then the girl can be called statutory rape but only if the family presses charges
good luck
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm

12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
yes; 13 is not an age of consent and he could go to juvenile prison for statutory rape, i think
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
Well they’re both underage so that’s a problem, but since the guy is older and the girl is so young, the guy would probably in the worst position.
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
Not at all!
Nearly-legal adults get a 1 million check every time they ruin the lives of pre-teens.
Guys should do that more often!
(I hope the sarcasm in this answer is evident)
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
no i dont think so their both still a minors. he would get in trouble if he was 18 years old cause he would be considered as an adult. The age of consent is 16 in Florida.
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
no hes not 18 yet so he cant be put in jail but look up in florida law under sagitory rape
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm

12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
Yes he can get in trouble. Her parents could have him arrested for statutory rape, since she is still a minor.
12. October 2010 at 2:16 pm
