Is it illegal for a 19 year old and a 14 year old to date?

Answer 1

If "dating" is all that is happening then no. However, an 18 year old in the company of a 14 year old will draw suspicion. When that suspicion turns to inuendo and allegation, the life of the 18 year old will dramatically change.

There are many who tell you that per the age of consent, a 16 year old may have any type of relationship at all with an 18 years old, but this is sadly misinformed. In the US, any type of sexual contact with a minor will result in criminal charges, that will result in a trial, that will result in a conviction, that will result in a sentence, and that person (usually male) will be required to register as a sex offender for no less than 25 years. There is no presumption of innocence, only guilt. In the very small likelihood of an acquital, the accused party will be stigmatized for the rest of his life or for as long as he lives in the vicinity of where the accusation was made.

The question should be, does the 18 year old want to gamble his life?

Answer 2

yes

AnswerIt's not illegal to date but it is illegal for them to have sex. It is statutory rape; if parents press charges and it's proven, the 18 year old could go to jail.

Answer 3

Depends on the state, laws very and in many cases it is allowed with parental consent, the best way to be safe is to date someone who is EITHER 18+ or your age+

Answer 4

Yes. In all the states I know of. (Actually, you can date all you want, but no touching.)

Answer 5

If the word "date" is a codeword for "have sex with" it can depend on the state in question.

Answer 6

As long as their parents are comfortable with it and they do not engage in any sort of sexual activity then it should be okay.

Answer 7

No, it is not against the law to date, but it is against the law to have a sexual relationship. BOTH parties must be over the age of consent, not just one.

Answer 8

not unless ur tapping it
