    You're correct JK. The hospital in FL absolutely should have notified CPS/DCF of the pregnancy due to the age of the mother. Whether the family/mother would have cooperated at the time in a meaningful way to identify or locate the father...who knows...

    wow - can't imagine why they didn't call them - possible the girl was scared or maybe didn't know who the dad was for sure? Not to take over this thread but a follow-on question. What if no one reports the crime and they are just looking for financial support? Will the state automatically intervene?

    Not automatically, no.

    But Florida is perhaps the toughest state in the country when it comes to prosecuting underage sex crimes. They can, and will, prosecute two 16 year olds - let alone a 19 year old sleeping with a 13 year old.

    The delay could be for a variety of reasons.... including that mom went on public assistance and had to identify dad and someone did the math.

    One of the posters here has a son that has been in prison for over a decade for having consensual sex with his girlfriend.

    This is a HUGE deal... and the SOL on the rape hasn't gotten close to running out. The DNA test on the child will be considered evidence to the rape.

    You need to talk to an attorney on Tuesday....

    Thank you everybody. A DNA test has not been done yet. From my understand, D.O.R. will send the next paper with a date and time to go take one. My question...is this a mandatory test to take and does anybody know the rerecussions of me not take the test?

    We are going to speak to an attorney Tuesday of course so thank you everybody for you input.

    I was also told that our defense if it gets to that point could be that this gal at 14 put herself in an adult situation. Arrived at a party with 18-21 year olds where everybody there was 18-21 years of age. I did not know this gal, I did not pick her up, I did not know anything. I know the statue that states ignorance of age etc. What are you thoughts on this?

    Thank you again.

    That's not going to wash at all in Florida.

    A 14 year old doesn't put herself anywhere. And you, as an adult, have the responsibility to practice due diligence when selecting a sex partner.

    .
    that you are going to get familiar with what it looks like on the inside of a prison. Do you think the statute stating ignorance of age is not an excuse means nothing? It means what it says.

    Listen. I'm hear for advice. I thought that's what this forum was for. I am getting an attorney but I found this forum until the point that I speak to one. Thank you dogmatique. Piss off JK. I know what the statue says. I hear from people who are familiar with this, different things. What I said about her being put in an adult situation is what I was told from somebody who is not an attorney directly but works in an attorney enviroment, therefore I figured I'd pass it through the website.

    I figured it wouldn't go far due to the statue but wanted to get an attorney's advice, which you gave and I thank you for that.

    Do you know if the dna test they will request is mandatory?
