    Post Dating a Minor

    My question involves a relationship in the state of: Polk County Florida


    My situation is my girlfriend and I, She is 17 and I am 18, planned to go out for the evening. First i picked her up from her brothers house, she told him we were going out eat then to the movies. What in turn actually happened was we went back to my house, no "intercourse or intercourse related actions" occurred in the duration that she was with me. We laid down and watched TV then fell asleep. Later we woke up late and it was almost 9 hours later. I had planned to bring her back later that night. A time frame would be i picked her up at 8:15 then we watched tv for a few hours then fell asleep, awoke to see that it was 6:45am. By this time her phone and mine had be "blown up" by many text messages, phone calls, and voicemails. Immediately we got up and i drove her to her mothers house. Upon arriving in the area of her house, there were several cop cars and many family members outside, her immediate reaction was, drive away. We parked a block away and she wanted time to think about what to do. Eventually i convinced her to call her brother and sister. After contacting them they came up and picked stephanie up and told me to go home. I went home. 5 minutes after my arrival at my residence i get a call from the police, she is furious and yelling over the phone that she will hunt me down if i am not there immediately. I drive back to meet the family and the police outside in the garage.


    That is my whole situation.

    From this point the cop started to lecture for a period of 10 minutes. She was very rude and disrespectful toward both myself and my girlfriend. She also started saying that if this was to happen again that she will haul me downtown and that i will be pressed with crimes.

    Under my knowledge the age of consent is 16-23 in the state of Florida. At this point we are both still virgins and had no intention of having sex that evening. So my question is, how can i be charged with criminal crimes; does it pretain to her mother not giving consent of her to date me? I am just in a state of confusion about the legal actions that could have been filed against me.

    Google "interference of custody" and "corruption of a minor".

    Just because she is over the age of consent doesn't mean you two can ignore her parent's wishes.

    Oh, and I would be getting out a restraining order on you faster than you can say, "what just happened?"

    I'm not sure about the inference of custody and its grounds under which i would be charged. However under the corruption of a minor clause it states " A person that is under the age of consent or age restriction of another statue", and is there not a clause that has some leniency towards people who are within one age year of one another, the one year age clause? I'm not 100% certain but i saw it browsing through a law post somewhere. What is the process of receiving a restraining order? I'm assuming that until she is 18 that she can have no say to whether or not she wants to be with me and that her mother can control what she does until that point under the basis of those 2 clauses you provided me? Is there no hope? =\

    When she is 18, she can choose.

    Until that moment, her parents make every single decision in her life.

    Google "age of majority".

    That is exactly correct.

    If Mom gets a restraining order against you and you ignore it or exhort your girlfriend to ignore it, you'll get to enjoy the hospitality of your local branch of the Hotel Greybar.

    So after she turns 18 then I can see her again because it is determined by what she wants? Of course this may have consequences in itself; however there is no physical legal action her mother can pursue me for after she has turned 18? Also i have a question concerning the cop in the incident, what is the extent of which a police officer can give input into a situation over rather than just doing her specific job of investigation. She was asserting her own personal beliefs toward my girlfriends mother and describing me as "a bad kid", " His parents don't care about him", " All he wants from your daughter is one thing"; all of those being specific remarks she put her input toward my girlfriends mother in defamation of my character. I am not very familiar with laws concerning defamation and "Libel". In my concerns she has no power to put her own personal input in on the situation in defaming my character against my girlfriends mother; the worst is that I had not met her mother yet, the officer made these specific remarks in direct defamation of my character because of incidents that the officer and I had gone through previously; she had received a report of kids doing "Ding dong ditching" in my neighborhood, there was no evidence that i was apart of this incident, she accused me because i just happened to be outside my house at the time of the event; she couldn't prove anything and got frustrated then drove off; in my opinion this was her chance at revenge in a way, thus she attacked my character in direction of describing myself to my girlfriends mother, in my opinion that should be considered actual malice is it not? I would also like to know if I can file a official complaint against this officer for this actions and if writing a letter to the sheriffs office would actually do anything. Thanks again guys.
