ANSWER:: Sexual Assault on a child 1st degree is a class B Felony charge and under federal law that means anyone having sexual contact or sexual intercourse with a person who has not attained the age of 13 years is guilty of first-degree sexual assault on child. And having sexual contact or sexual intercourse with a person who has attained the age of 13 years, but has not attained the age of 16 years is guilty of second-degree sexual assault of a minor child, a Class C felony..
Since the boyfriend was charged with sexual assault on a child and not the lessor charge of statutory rape it is obvious that he was significantly older than the girl..
statutory rape occurs when 2 people mutually decide to have sexual contact and one of them is below the legal age of consent in that state.such as an 18yo being with a 15 year old and the age of consent is 16 in that state,the vast majority of states Statutory rape only allows there to be a 4 year difference in the ages of the persons involved.
In many states If there is more than 4 years difference in their ages then sexual assault charges apply and in some states the most serious charges of Rape can be applied...
Nonetheless to be charged with sexual assault on a child the boyfriend was obviously over the age of 18 and the girl under 16 or under 13 depending on the degree of the charge...Hence why if you are 18 you should never ever have sex with someone under the age of 18 period..it saves you from alot of trouble like prison time,being a felon,
being on a sex offenders list the rest of your life...But when in doubt ask for photo ID!!!

I am not a lawyer, but in general, the age of consent is a legal defense that varies depending on the jurisdiction. It may be a valid argument to raise in court, but the outcome ultimately depends on the specific laws in your jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of the case. It is crucial to consult with a qualified attorney for legal advice tailored to your situation.
