My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan
Say an 18 year old had sex with a 15 year old. And there was no force and it was consensual.
Would this be considered 4th degree? If not, why not, and what would it be considered.
I read somewhere that there is a close age exception, that if within 4 years of eachother, it wouldnt be considered Statutory. Is this true?
Also if the 18 year old had no idea the girl was 15, and had reasonable belief she was 17, then found out the day after and told her he didnt want a relationship because she was too young. And then she tried to convince him that it would be fine, and that she dated a 28 year old once. He still said she was too young. Then she even asked him if he wanted to have sex again, and he said no your too young. Would this help him out?
