Can your parents press charges against your 25 year old boyfriend if you are 17?

Answer 1

If you are in the US it depends on which state she lives in. The states where the age of consensual sex is set at 18 are California, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington state amd Wisconsin. All other state ages of consensual sex are under 18. There are a few states that have laws pertaining to age differences between the consensual parties, however such laws are seldom enforced unless there are mitigating circumstances. Given the situation described it is highly unlikely authorities would intervene or the adult male would be charged with a criminal offense.

Answer 2

Yes. The type of complaint that could be filed depends upon the laws of the state where the minor resides and the circumstances of the case. A decision as to whether a complaint by the parents would lead to criminal or civil charges being filed against the adult male would be made by the state prosecuting attorney's (DA's)office.
