Answer #1

Babygirl1220 is right it depends on the state. I believein Lousiania you can have s*x legally at 17.

Answer #2

it depends on what state ur from and what their laws are..in IL no its not illegal and he could not be put in jail but in other states it is it depends on what ur age of consent is

chances are though ur parens are just upset cause well no parents are excited for the day they find ou t their daughter is no longer a vir*in and chances are they wont really do something

Answer #3

YES THEY CAN THAT IS MOLESTATION YOU ARE NOT OF LEGAL AGE TO HAVE RELATIONS EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE 17 YOUR NOT AN ADULT.AND THEREFOR YOU ARE BEING RAPED IN THE LAWS EYES SO IF YOUR PARENTS DO WANT TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION I DONT BLAME THEM AT ALL EVEN THOUGH YOU LOVE HIM HE IS AN ADULT 18 AND OVER OH AND ONE MORE THING I HOPE YOU USE PRTECTION I CANT STOP YOU FROM HAVING RELATIONS BUT I CAN KEEP A CHILD FORM BEING BROUGHT IN THIS WORLD FROM ONE OR TWO NIGHTS OF FUN TAKE CARE

Answer #4

I highly doubt he could get into any trouble.

Statutory r*pe laws do vary from state to state, but usually someone can only get in trouble if there is more than a three or four year age difference. Otherwise, you could have an 18 year old get in trouble for sleeping with his 17 year old girlfriend even if she is only one week younger than he is, and that wouldn’t make much sense!

So you can check your state’s laws to be sure, but it sounds to me like your parents are just making empty threats.

Answer #5

they can file charges and if they are serious about doing it and you really love him, STAY AWAY FROM HIM at least until you are 18 your self.. maybe they will be ok with that then– you really dont want them to do this to him- this will scar him for life!

Answer #6

yes they can. the reason that they can do that is because you are a minor.

Answer #7

While you live under their roof, I would abide by their wishes and not rock the boat (save heartache to all concerned)..I wish you the best and please make good choices !!

Answer #8

Its different for different states… I dont know what state you’re in but in Georgia its legal. 16 and up can have sex with who ever they want 16 and up. Seach [YOUR STATE] Statuatory Rape Laws on the internet
