    So, what's he going to be charged with if they have lunch together on campus? Or if they see a movie together?

    Contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He would be encouraging the minor to disobey her parents.
    Oregon has not had a "contributing to the delinquency" statute for some years, as their statute was held unconstitutional by the state's Supreme Court. It has statutes for endangering a minor, and for custodial interference, which would not apply to a lunch or movie date.
    Quote Quoting llworking
    The parents can get a restraining order against him as well.
    If there are facts that would result in criminal charges, or if there's a history of stalking or abuse, then that's a possibility.

    "Delinquency of a minor" means a criminal offense committed by a minor.
    No, it does not. Delinquency includes status offenses. The link you provide makes that pretty clear.

    If she runs away she has become a delinquent minor. If you assist in any way you are contributing. That is enough to get a restraining order against you.
    Helping a minor run away in this context would likely fall under the custodial interference statutes.

    If these parents wanted to control their child, then they should not have sent her off to college at age 15.
    Do you know what the parents can do if they don't like the way their child is behaving at college? They can pull her out of college.

    John_28 has a disturbing habit of zealously defending and promoting the rights of those who are charged or potentially could be charged with offenses against children. Other threads of recent memory demonstrate this.

    It's quite unsettling.

    Then let them pull her out of school, instead of pressing criminal charges against some innocent guy.

    Oh, no. I'm promoting people's rights to be free of the stringent morality of super-religious people. Good heavens.

    It's interesting, however (and more than a little creepy) how you automatically assume that any adult who is involved romantically with a child is "innocent" with no facts at all to support your assumption.

    I presume everyone to be innocent. Guilt has to be proven.

    That's great if you're on the jury when they go to court. Here? Not so much.

    ...and if they'd prevented this clearly bright young lady from proceeding with her education, you'd be bitching about that, too.

    Until she reaches the age of majority - whether or not she is in college - she is under the legal care and control of her parents, and what they say is law.

    well ya see John, it is up to the state to prosecute the guy, not the parents.

    but it up to the parent's to protect their child and if that means a RO or calling the cops and ask them to review the situation to determine if there are any laws being broken, so be it.

    There's court of law and there's real life. This website and the conversations on it fall into the latter category.
