If you are convicted of a charge as a minor, your record can generally be sealed some time after you become an adult if you commit no further crimes. However, the record is still there and can be opened if you commit another crime.
Disclaimer -- I am not a lawyer! An adult who has sex with a minor has committed a felony in most US jurisdictions. The minor has not committed any crime. (And how does one have sex with a minor "accidentally"???)
No, emancipated or not. It's wrong and a crime for the adult.
Yes.
It is up to the prosecutor to determine how to charge them. They weigh the factors and the record of the minor when making their determination.
What do you mean by "any" age? You have to be a legal adult in your state in order to file a request. If you are a minor your parent or guardian would have to do it for you.
The crime depends on thatAdditional: By use of the term "criminal court" it will be assumed that the questioner is referring to the 'adult' criminal system.As stated above it will depend on the age of the minor who committed the offense and the seriousness of the crime they committed.
Yes, you could petition the court to have your juvenile record expunged, but why would you? When you turn 18 years, your juvenile record will automatically be sealed to the public anyway.
A parent that gives permission for a minor to have sex with an adult is committing a crime, as is the adult with whom the minor has sex. Think about it. If it is okay for a parent to give permission for a minor to have sex with an adult, at what age is ok? 15? 12? 10? What about 4 or 5? It is the responsibility of the parent to protect their minor child.
no
He could be charged as a minor (juvenile) or as an adult for the crime, based on his age and severity of the offense.
It is a battery, perhaps an assault as well. The age does not matter, it is a crime.
Yes, police can arrest a minor if they have committed a crime or are suspected of committing a crime. Minors can be taken into custody and may face legal consequences for their actions.
