51 Answers
I've been talking to this guy for three years am just recent started seeing him an he's now just told me that he wants to be with me but he might be getting charged with Statutory Rape an I'm getting my self all worried thinking I might see him again.
So my question is how long can you get for it and if someone could help me understand what Statutory Rape is?

http://legal -dictionary. thefreedicti onary.com/St atutory+Rape n statutory rape, overt force or threat is usually not present. Statutory rape laws presume coercion, because a minor or mentally handicapped adult is legally incapable of giving consent to the act.

I can think of one case which was retrospective but I can't find a link to it. The boy was 12 at the time but was in court when he was in his early 20s.
Of course the headline was 'man, 22, charged with the rape of 12 year old girl' which, although factually correct, puts a different slant on the matter.
