    Default Illegal for a 18 Year Old Man to Date a 14 Year Old Girl

    Is it illegal for an 18 year old man to date a 14 year old girl? They have not yet kissed but are planning on doing such and developing that kind of relationship. They have no intention of having sexual intercourse. So far they have held hands, hugged e.t.c in the way in which a romantic couple would. What charges, if any, can be placed? I live in Northern Ireland. Not a state

    The reason this site asks for the name of your state is because it's a site for US law only.

    You'll have to consult your local laws regarding penalties but aside from that, I have to ask- what about the girl's parents? They can certainly demand you keep away from her and also, what's the fascination? Why not find a girl your own age? You are an adult, and she a child without the judgement and discernment of an adult.

    I'm curious as to the emotional and mental maturity of a legal adult who is romantically interested in a someone who isn't old enough to see movies other than those rated for children, play on a fruit machine or buy any mobile phone other than a pre-paid one.

    He is playing with fire here. If he loses control just once, he could possibly spend the rest of his life in prison.

    Ireland Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2006 states:

    "(1) Any person who engages in a sexual act with a child who is under the age of 15 years shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for life or a lesser term of imprisonment.

    (2) Any person who attempts to engage in a sexual act with a child who is under the age of 15 years shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for life or a lesser term of imprisonment."

    Read this article, AGE DIFFERENCES IN RELATIONSHIPS The legal age of consent to sex in Ireland is 17, then break it off with her.
