    Default Sexual Assault Against a Minor

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Missouri. My boyfriend has recently landed himself in the county jail for a sex offense. He is 18 and the girl is 15. He has been charged with Sodomy or attempted sodomy in the first degree. Right now he has 3 counts against the same 15 year old girl and has a $50,000 bond have a 3 month old son. My boyfriend has never ever showed any negative signs towards our child. He is a great father. He loves his son and tries his best to support for him. He wants to still be in his son's life and be a father for him and he still wants to be a family. I don't want to have a chance of my son being taken from my care but I also believe my boyfriend should have the right to be in our son's life. Like I said, he is a good father and never showed anything bad towards our baby. Yes I love my boyfriend very much. I know he did a very terrible thing. That does not mean he is evil forever. I have known him for over 2 years. This is not something he has made a habit out of. He is a great father and has always been good to me and our child. He messed up once. I do want my boyfriend to face the consequences because he done a bad thing. I need some answers. What could happen after everything(the aftermath)?

    Hon, he has 3 separate charges against him - that's pretty much the definition of a habit.

    But I do agree that people can change. What has his attorney said about potential consequences?

    So ... you have sort of an open relationship thing where it's okay for him to run off and diddle other girls?!?!? And is this 3 month old child yours with him? Or, is it his with her?

    As to what could happen, he could go to prison and these offenses might force him to register as a sex offender. Provided you protect your child, you shouldn't suffer any consequences. Whether any conditions of release or conviction might be imposed that could prohibit him from being around you or your child, only time will tell.

    As a note, a "great father" does not go around diddling other girls if he is serious about being with his baby's mother. He's a player and I'm going to guess not really serious about settling down and being responsible. Does he have a good job? Does he have a place of his own? Is he graduating high school? And on that note, how old are you?

    Notice how you keep saying "he's a great father" as if to convince yourself? If he gets convicted he will likely register as a sex offender. My friend's ex and baby daddy got six years for sexual assault of a minor. I believe he was in his early 20s and she was 15 or 16? I never really got the entire story but it was something along the lines of "he didn't know she was underage" or some crap. He is now a registered sex offender for life. He is in sex offender rehab so the issue of visitation has not come up yet and she remarried (to another asshole).

    Just deal with if he is convicted and has to register as a sex offender that will affect your child's life and you will have to figure out visitation around that. I am not sure how visitation works if one parent is a sex offender.

    He did not mess up once - it sounds like he messed up more than once. He also cheated on you apparently. That is never a good sign.

    Visitation really does depend on the convictions. The vast majority of sex offenders can have regular - and for most, unsupervised - access to their own children (obviously, if the victims are their own children there will typically be little or no access).
