Adult Teenager Dating a Child

My question involves a relationship in the state of: hi, well first of all i didn't know where to put this topic, sorry, but well a friend of my friend, well they told me that he's a really good boy , he's 19 i think and he has a girlfriend of 14, they are not having sex, they are just normal relation and they told me that parents of her girlfriend accepted him and they love him because he don't smoke or drink and do stupid things, he's a good guy, he hasn't touch her, they are basically like friends i think because they just hang out to movies or they just stay in her house with her mom and brothers, so is this illegal??? sorry guys i just want an answer =]

Read here.

yeah but there just says about having sexxxx, im saying that he's not having sex with her, he told my friend that he wont touch her until shes 18, and you are just giving me a list of sex age, im not talking about sex in this topic mate, just asking if it's illegal just to be a normal relationship???

There are no laws anywhere in the US that dictate who can date. There are only laws about who can have sex.

okay so are you trying to say that he actually got no problems then? but what about kisses?? if he kiss her is that illegal? i mean their parents of the girl accepted him as his boyfriend but not havin sex yet, and he agreed , he said that he doesn't want to have sex with her so early, so just kisses i think, he's good??? or is he breaking any law??

I'll answer you if you'll answer me one question. Why are you so interested in someone else's love life? Particularly someone who, by your initial description, you don't even know?

??? well who said i dont know him?? i do... it's just im not gonna call friend someone that i have talk to him like 3 times??? right. also my parents got married when my dad was 18 and my mom like 17 i think, but that was in cuba, and it's just interesting. and for your information, I'm 24 and my wife it's 24 2. ty

a friend of my friend, well they told me that he's a really good boy , he's 19 i think

Uh-huh. This really sounds like you know him. And I didn't ask how old you were. Nor do I care how old your parents were when they got married. But just so you know, there's a huge difference between a 17 year old and an 18 year old, and a 14 year old and a 19 year old. But I suppose a 24 year old who is obsessed with the relationship between a marginally known 19 year old and a 14 year old might not realize that. :rolleyes:

You seem to be operating on the assumption that there is a list out there somewhere that says, When there is an age gap of x you can do a, b and c: when each party ages a year they can also do d, e, and f, etc.

That's not the way the law works.

If her parents are all right with a legal adult hanging out with their 14 year old daughter, then as long as he doesn't do anything more than he would do in the front pew of the church on Christmas morning with her parents sitting in the row behind (credit cyjeff), he's fine.

If at any time the parents wise up and decide they aren't comfortable with their underaged daughter having a 19 year old hanging around her, no matter how "good" a guy he might appear to be, and tell him to get lost, then lost he gets. Until his quote girlfriend unquote is 18, and not one minute younger, her parents are GOD and what they say, goes.

If anyone other than her parents find the relationship inappropriate (this means teachers, pastors, counselors, passers by, passengers in low flying aircraft) they are free to report it to the authorities. And if the authorities decide to investigate, God help your "friend" if he isn't as squeaky clean as you make him out to be. Because the sex laws related to sexual contact, which is not limited to sexual intercourse. And if he is having inappropriate relations with a 14 year old, even if those relations stop short of intercourse, he'll be on the wrong side of a few legal charges so fast your feet will smoke trying to get out of the room before you're tarred with the same brush.

i don't know him that much, i was just interesting bro, think whatever you want;) it's a free country ;), but yeah thank you that's all i wanted to know, and wow i shouldn't work on computer things=[ i think i like things with the law xD. thank you

And I STILL want to know why a 24 year old is so obsessed with what a 19 year old can legally do with a 14 year old. You realize, I hope, that your "interest" does not speak well of you?

And I don't care how "good" a "boy" he appears to be, a 19 year old who is seriously interested in a 14 year old is either so painfully young for his age that he should be tested to see where on the autism or Aspergers spectrum he falls, or else isn't such a good boy at all and is only biding his time until he can persuade the 14 year old to scratch his itches.
