    Default Forcible Rape Charges in Missouri

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Missouri

    My wife recently visited her high school and had a breakdown shortly after, she shared that she had sex with a boy one class younger than her in 2002, she was 17 and he was 16. She described it as a group dinner at a restaurant then the group of friends went to one of the girls home. While at the house the kids started drinking, and she was served several vodka shots by a young man.

    My wife had never drank alcohol prior to this, nor since. She said she doesn’t remember much else other than the boy taking her pants of and him putting a condom on. She said she never wanted to have sex and wasn’t that type of girl. The next day when she woke up she felt terrible and ashamed and blamed herself for getting drunk. She repressed the event and never spoke to anyone about it until now in 2018. She also stated the boy proceeded to ignore her for the remaining of the school year (they never dated before or after the night of dinner and sex). As we have spoken about this event, I feel like it should be classified as Forcible Rape.

    Our question is would this actually hold water in the legal system, and would a prosecutor be likely to do something with this charge as it is 16 yrs old? Secondly if the prosecutor wouldn’t do anything do we have any grounds for emotional damage/distress? Does Missouri have any limits on Civil Charges in a case like this?
