If it's sexual touching then the person who touches a 15 year old might get statutory rape or sexual assault charges, both of which lead to prison time and the person becomes a registered sex offender.
No jail time, just sexual harassment charges.
Yes, if someone is accused of inappropriate touching of a minor, they can be charged with offenses such as sexual assault, sexual abuse, or lewd and lascivious behavior, depending on the laws of the jurisdiction. These charges can carry severe penalties, including imprisonment and registration as a sex offender. It is important for those accused to seek legal counsel immediately.
The way the question is worded it implies that the questioner is not a minor themselves. If that assumption is true, the report WILL be vigorously investigate and if probable cause is found that you DID do it, you will be arrested. Even if the alleged perpetrator IS a minor themselves, it may bring charges against you in juvenile court.
A parent can press charges for contributing to the delinquency of a minor in Ohio. Criminal charges can be filed for the crime, and civil charges can be done for any injuries that may have occurred to the minor child.
ASSAULT is defined as an UNWANTED TOUCHING.
It depends on whether they are state or federal charges, and the quantity involved.
Just go to the police and let them deal with it.
You cannot drop charges. The state presses and/or drops criminal charges.
A parent (or gardian) can press charges for touching their child anywhere, (feet, hands stomach etc) Is it a sexual act? In societal norm today the foot fetish is not that uncommon. Proving the accused does have a foot fetish, that may be a bit hard to prove. But reguardless of where the accused touched the minor child, if "you" as a parent feel it was inappropriot, then by all means press charges, nothing may come to it, but at least its on record. Now, when can a parent press charges or "not" that I am unclear of. As far as I know, a parent can press charges on anything they deem inappropriot to their child or children when touching is involved, perhaps lewd act on a child or minor? Im no attorny, I'm just taking a stab at it. * Individuals do not "press charges" they file complaints. Complaints are then referred to the prosecutor's office and then it is decided whether or not the person who alledgedly commited the act should be arrested and charged with a crime. The first step is for the parents of the minor child to contact the state's child protective services for assistance.
Yes, it is very common
Yes, but only because they are a minor not because you are going to get in trouble or have charges against you.
