    Exclamation Statutory Rape of a Minor in Washington

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Washington

    ive grown up with peers 4-5 years younger than me since the 3rd grade if this helps my case

    almost a year ago. me a 19 y.o. at the time, and a girl at 14, stared dating. I've known this girl 2 years previous but was unaware of her age. i asked her father if this age difference was ok with him and his wife; they said it was. 3 months pass we get serious, and things are fine, parents are aware of our sexual relationship. In june after her 15th birthday of 2014 CPS takes the girl and her sister, i dont see them for a month or so. we reconnected but parents are suddenly far against it and make me out to be a monster and try to pin statutory rape on me. before june we underwent an abortion, it was a hard loss for both of us, an accident but still it was important to both of us. now the family besides the biological father are against me and wish to press charges. there is no "no contact" order so we continued to see eachother. What is our standing? in the wrong or right? please respond with answers as well as similar cases where the defendant is innocent.

    Yes, what you did is a crime. If you continue to see her and have sex with her you only add to the offenses you have already committed.

    The parents cannot give their approval for you to break the law. If they did know and permit the sexual relationship, that may well be why the kids got yanked by CPS!

    Stop seeing this child now!!!!

    Seeing each other isn't an issue. You having sex with the child is RAPE. The statute of limitations on this doesn't stop just because your VICTIM becomes of 16.
    You can be CONVICTED of this RAPE until ten years pass (or the child turns 21 whichever is later). You can get five years for this.

    You need to SHUT UP and get away from this CRIMINAL and unhealthy situation and hope they don't come after you. You can also be civilly sued for your abuse.

    You can edit or weasel your posts all you want, but you're already guilty of RAPING this child.

    And not to put too fine a point on it, of COURSE her parents are going to make sure you have no contact - they're already under the watchful eye of CPS.

    Come on dude - you know what you're doing.

    And no - the magic age of 16 does NOT protect you. Once she's 16, nothing at all changes - you don't go ANYWHERE near her until she's 18 and out of her parents house.

    I started to respond to this point by point but I got too angry so I stopped.

    Suffice it to say, you do not have a leg to stand on. You are 100% in the wrong. There is no law supporting your right to see a minor if her parents do not approve regardless of what they may have approved in the past; nor can they make the illegal, legal by their "approval". The law is very much against you and I truly, truly hope that they do press charges and you end up in jail.

    That's all I have to say.
