My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida
If a man that is 20 has sexual intercourse with a girl that is 15 and she gets pregnant and then they get married and the girls parents sign for them to get married. Then the marriage doesn't work out. Can charges be brought up against the man? Any information is greatly appreciated.
Yes, they can. Getting married AFTER the fact isn't a remedy for the act being a crime at the time it was committed. With that said, it's really a toss up as to whether or not the DA would ACTUALLY bring charges. DAs want to pursue such cases on their criminal merits - and can tend to NOT pursue cases where the legal victim is only reporting the crime due to a breakup, revenge, etc.
Thank you. I was just unsure as to what could be done. Yes it would be purely to seek revenge. I do understand that a lawyer is the only one that can give legal advice regarding the matter I just figured that there was a possibility that someone would at least have some knowledge as to what could be done or what might happen.
