depends on where you are but in most cases yes and it does not need to be your parents.If you are caught having sex with him by police or anyone or get pregnant etc.

He can only be charged with statutory rape if you have sex with him.

It depends entirely on where you are. I don't know.

Yes.

It's not because he's older than you, it's because he's older than 18 and you aren't. Charges would have to be pressed but yes, I know a guy that spent 3 years in prison for this very thing and is on the data base where you look up sex offenders in your area, which is awful!!!!!

Have you had sex with him? If so it depends on your state law. Some states they couldnt because the age of consent is 16 but other states it is 17 or 18. In two states, South Carolina and Arkansas it is 14 for females. So what state are you in and I can answer?

You're parents cannot charge him unless they are part of the legal process. They can request he be charged, but the charge will only go as far as the laws in your area allow it, and if there is any evidence of sexual contact.

Statutory rape is sex with someone under the age of consent by someone above the age of consent and it varies by state: USA Age of Consent by State (thank google.com) Age of Sexual Consent in USA Ala. 16 f/m (female/male) intercourse, no law on homosexual intercourse Alaska 16 f/m, f/f, m/m intercourse Ariz. 18 f/m intercourse, no law on homosexual intercourse Ark. 16 f/m intercourse, no law on homosexual intercourse Calif. 18 f/m, f/f, m/m intercourse Colo. 17 f/m, f/f, m/m intercourse Conn. 16 f/m, f/f, m/m intercourse D.C. 16 f/m intercourse, no law on homosexual intercourse Del. 16 f/18 m intercourse, no law on homosexual intercourse Fla. 18 f/m intercourse, no law on homosexual intercourse Ga. 16 f/m, f/f, m/m intercourse Hawaii 16 f/m intercourse, no law on homosexual intercourse Idaho 16 f/18 male intercourse, no law on homosexual intercourse Ill. 17 f/m, f/f, m/m intercourse Ind. 16 f/m, f/f/, m/m intercourse Iowa 16 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Kan. 16 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Ky. 16 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse La. 17 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Maine 16 f/m, f/f, m/m intercourse Md. 16 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Mass. 16 f/18 m, no law on homosexual intercourse Mich. 16 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Minn. 16 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Miss. 16 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Mo. 17 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Mont. 16 f/18 m, 18 f/f, 18 m/m intercourse Neb. 17 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Nev. 16 f/m, 18 f/f, 18 m/m intercourse N.H. 16 f/m, 18 f/f, 18 m/m intercourse N.J. 16 f/m, f/f, m/m intercourse N.M. 17 f/m, 16 f/f, 16 m/m intercourse N.Y. 17 f/m, f/f, m/m intercourse N.C. 16 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse N.D. 18 f/m, f/f, m/m intercourse Ohio 16 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Okla. 16 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Ore. 18 f/m, f/f, m/m intercourse Pa. 16 f/m, f/f, m/m intercourse R.I. 16 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse S.C. 14 f/16 m, no law on homosexual intercourse S.D. 16 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Tenn. 18 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Tex. 17 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Utah 16 f/18 m, no law on homosexual intercourse Vt. 16 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Va. 18 f/m, no law on homosexual intercourse Wash. 16 f/m, f/f, m/m intercourse W.

You do not have to have sex with this dope for him to get in serous trouble. Your parents can file a restraining order on your behalf.

In most places yes, but there are exceptions. It doesn't ahve to be your parents, either, anyone can make this charge against him.

Depends on what the consentual age is in your country. The consentual age is when you can legally have sex. He can only be charged for having sex with a minor if he is over the age of majority - age 18 in most countries - and his partner was under the consentual age. Check out this web site for a listing of all countries and US states and their legal age of consent: http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm Nobody can charge him because of the age difference! Again, if you are over the age of consent, no one can charge him with anything, unless he forced you to have sex. In which case it wouldn't matter how old you are or he is anyway.

By now you've read the breakdown by state I'm sure (very infomative). A more important question I think you should be asking is "Why does is a 21 year old mad dating a 16 year old girl?".

I am not sure about your particular state, in N.C. at 21 years of age a male/female is considered an adult by the state. Because you are 16 years old, you are considered a minor by the state. The charge of statutory rape can be used when an adult (someone 21 or older) has sex with a minor (someone under the age of 21). Your parents are more than likely telling you the truth.

Assuming you have had relations, that is absolutely true !

well, i have to be the first to say that you shouldnt be with someone that much older than you.. it isnt the age difference, its that ur only 16,but i'm not ur mom, and its ur decision... but the laws are different in every state. some states say that 16 is the consent age for sexual intercourse... which would give you the right to make that decision for yourslef. but, it doesnt mean that he cant be charged with rape... fact is he is a grown man.. what buisiness does he have messing around with a 16 yr. old n e way??? i knw u dont want to hear it, but someone needs to say it! he is too old for you, and you are too young for him.. period. why not try being a teenager and start looking at ppl closer to ur own age? it is rape... he is an adult and you are a child... end of story! you arent emotionally mature enough to make those kind of decisions... and he should know better!!!

my little sister was younger with older. she also didn't have a BF, she had a freakin harem. they couldn't press charges because she wouldn't cooperate. your BF is taking a trusting you big time if your state does not consider you age of consent. efen if I was in a relationship with an "underage" I could not trust a female not to change her mind and get me charged.

Depends what state you're in

faster than you can say "zip it"

it depends on whether or not your parents love and trust you.

Yup, it sure is.

yes that is true but if you keep things on the qt and not tell you friends becose one of them can do the same thing as you parents.
