The consenting age is 16 over here,
Ive yet to meet a girl who did not loose her virginity at 15
Seriously? Um, hi! Now you have
Or am I too old to count?
On the original topic, what they said. It's wrong and needs to be stopped. However, I'm not sure that will be easy to do.
Why exactly is it wrong if its making the girl happy? If she is emotionally mature enough then its fine.
Anyone willing to commit statutory rape rather than waiting until their "emotionally mature enough" partner is "actually" old enough, is by definition a danger. Any person willing to allow their partner to commit a felony rather than waiting to be old enough, is by definition not emotionally mature enough.
How can you make a decision based on a inconsistant number?
america 18, uk 16, japan 12 to 14.
The only thing that should matter is the persons emotional age
over here they would not even bother with a 15 year old sleeping with someone, the success rate of cases is so low,0 -
He needs to be in jail and she need to be locked in her bedroom, with bars on the windows!!!!!!0

Her parents should be charged with child endangerment.
But you don't even know what the parents know, if anything. She might be sneaking off with this guy when they think she's at soccer practice.
I thought about my post later and I agree with you on this. I guess I was assuming that the parents knew because OP said she was dating and having sex with the pervert. When I think of dating, I think of the guy picking her up from her house. I could have been wrong on that.0 -
Also, his parents don't care. Her dad hardly cares that she smokes and does drugs. And I've been getting things together with my mom to call the police soon.
don't wait, do the right thing right away0 -

Please read more carefully as I made no mention of a number. One of these people is committing a crime and the other is allowing it. Argue about whether or not it should be a crime, fine. But a 15 year old who is already demonstrating that she is perfectly willing to break a law that could affect her partner for life is in no position to make such decisions.0 -
He is a predator! Call cops now! He could be doing this to other girls...he could be giving your friend a disease.0

If you believe he should be in jail, then he's not much more than an anonymous tip from actually being there. I'm assuming you're in the states, but I'm pretty sure that would be illegal just about anywhere. I would wager that the police would be more than happy to hook him up, but if you're asking this here, then maybe you're waiting for deus ex machina to present you with some solution that alows everyone to live happily ever after or maybe something else, since your story is now carved in cyber-stone on the internet and searchable by google. It is an odd way to introduce yourself on a fitness site, surely. Good luck with your fitness goals and with your moral-legal quandary.A 15 year old girl, dating and having sex with a 27 year old man.
No, this isn't me. It's my "best friend" whom I've known for 12 years now.
I think it's disgusting. He should be in jail, and she should be sent off to military school. She's no where near as mature as he is, and I personally think he's just using her to get what he wants.0 -
NOT reporting statutory rape is also a crime in most states. You need to call and report it immediately.0

Over the years there has been many cases where a person's age was a factor. In the US most are aware of the statutory laws but did not comply due to they actually felt as though there was an intimate or an emotional love affair. As I read the various comments here, my mind came to Mary Kay LeTerneau(sp) and how she did time for sleeping with her 6th grade male student and also conceived a child with him. He is now of age and they are married from the last I seen on a documentary segment not long ago. Then I have seen in other countries and also here in the US(my hometown even)where minors are forced to have sexual relations with adults for money. I realize the OP is not referring to "human trafficking" but whenever I think about a person under the age of 18, whether male or female in a consenting relationship, I can't wrap my head around it. These are just my thoughts and I thought I would add mine to the board.0

This.
If you know about it, but say nothing, you're still a bystander in the eyes of American law. Assuming you're in America, because of the focus on age and how riled everyone is, you should call the cops. True, other countries tend to have lower AOC's...but if you're American, that's all pointless because the guy is now considered a pedophile.
The end.0 -
Please call the POLICE. I'm sure you are worried about losing her "friendship" but how much of a friend are you if you are not looking out for her? Seriously, this is just not right. Sometimes you have to do the unpopular thing, the MORAL thing,and risk the friendship. Besides, if she is your friend, she will understand..may take some time, but she will know you mean well.0
-
Depends on where they live.0
-
too far.. she's still a child...0
-
She's a child still. A grown man should not have interest in a 15yr old no matter how grown she looks. The age should have immediately turned him off. Report him.0
-
Not cool. I'd call the cops, or her parents...
Or both.0 -
id call cops asap....he's clearly a pedophile. I'm 27 and I would NEVER EVER think of dating a 15 year old boy...ever...I wouldn't even date a 21 year old boy...He's clearly creepy and could have a record with even younger victims.0
-
would you be having the same issue if it was two 15 yr olds doing the act? or even two 13 yr olds? i mean, they are still involved in "statutory rape".. or is it just because hes older than her?0
-

Yes.0 -
That doesn't even make sense... and all the people talking about he's breaking the law a few years ago a young man was sent jail for breaking the law he was 19 she was 17 they were a little over a year apart.. they changed the laws after that.would you be having the same issue if it was two 15 yr olds doing the act? or even two 13 yr olds? i mean, they are still involved in "statutory rape".. or is it just because hes older than her?
Anyway when I was 15 I was very immature... but MANY 15 year olds are doing drugs, having sex etc MANY 15 year olds are NOT INNOCENT CHILDREN... This is NOTHING like Mary Kate Luterno(SP) that boy was 11 and she had 3 kids amd a husband... she truly abused him...this sounds like a drug abusing sex crazed do what she wants little tramp and if she wants to have sex with a 11 or a 51 year old she probably will. I find it more disturbing everyone is like ruin this mans life call the cops, make him register as a sex offender, for what? consenting sex.. I think the sex offender registery is for real abuse.. not consenting out of control teens and the 20 something yr old guys she finds hot... imo.. but if he does get in trouble he made his choice.. so whatever...0 -

no one would be ruining his life but himself...... he has the power to say no to a 15 yr old, no matter how "hot" she thinks he is. taking advantage of a child no matter how rebellious they are is still wrong and currently illegal. when you break the law you are at risk of being caught and paying the penalty that goes with it. everyone is accountable for their own actions whether you think it is fair or not, the law is still the law and should be followed until the law is changed, i.e. underage drinking, smoking pot, 27 yr old's having sex with children (and yes 15 yr old is a child), etc... we may not agree with all the laws but they are still the law and we have the choice to follow the law or break the law, but if we get caught breaking the law we have no one to blame but ourselves, PERIOD.0 -
He's a pedophile and if you don't turn him in you are just as vile a person as he is.0

This.
He's preying on a child, for f ucks sake! A 15 year old girl may THINK she's "grown" but the fact of the matter is, is she is still a child.0 -
If that was my daughter I would be thrown in jail for what I would do to that 27 year old! :mad: Report it!!! A 27 year old MAN should know better then to be having sex with a CHILD!!0
-
its only illegal if they are having sex.. but i would definitely tell her parents.. it doesn't seem safe for her.0
-
I dated a 20 year old when I was 15. Was terrible for me in the course of things. I'd report him...do it anonymously if you have to. BUt this needs to stop. He's a sick ****er and she doesn't know any better.0
-
Instead of calling the police maybe you should see if the guy even knows how old she is. I would at least tell her that you are going to tell her parents or police first so at least she would have the opportunity to end things on her own instead of ruining two peoples lives. It is what a real friend would do.
Agreed!0 -

Exactly. If they are "so in love" then he should respect her enough to wait until she's legal. If he goes to jail it will be his own fault.0 -
timremlinger 15 years old , not an innocent child ? Having sex or wear provocative clotles, doing drugs , doesnt make a kid more or less inocent Its just wrong, even if she agrees , even if she is the one that wants it, its the adults that should have some more thinking abilitys
Dont keep him as a " best friend " when u have childreen of your own ...0 -
guess u already do... hmm i would start thinking , whats the age limit of the guy 15 ? 14 ? maybe 12 if she already has boobs and is "mature" for her age0
-
Call the cops now and report it. Your friend may be angry for a while, but she'll be safe!
yes, they will be mad. in time.. they will thank you in time. keep your friend safe!0
