It can be counted as statutory rape even if you both wanted to have sex
once you turn 18 yes. right now you're golden. just watch out once you're 18
You are not an adult so the answer would be no. But, be prepared for her parents to prevent her from ever seeing you again. You need to treat your girlfriend with utmost respect and not rush into her into having sex with you. She is too young, and then there is the risk of her becoming pregnant which would change your lives forever. Once you become 18 years old, the gloves come off and you can be charged.
In Ohio, the parents could file unruly child charges on you.
Tired of masturbating?
depends on the law in florida here in ga there is a huge debate because a group of young males including a 17 yr old had sex with a 15yr and he has been in jail for 3 yrs so far, many are trying to get him out. the problem here though is he states is was consensual and supposedly she originally said it was rape then consensual...but the tape has been widely available and i have seen it..its a clear case of rape but for some reason the original jury threw out that charge.
Yes, they can. bettyk
Oh, for heaven's sake! Just please use a condom if you absolutely must. I could so have some things to say about morality and immaturity and such, but you won't listen. No, you won't go to jail. You are not 18, and the age diff is only two years.
Better not be my daughter, Fukget the law, I'll beat the snot out of you fella!
nO BUT IF YOUR 18 And doing it then you go to jail.
Id be more worried about getting shot and ending up as Florida Alligator food one dark night when nobody is watchin. Hope you know what some Parents are capable of when it comes to their children. Tell your parents where your gonna be so they can tell the law where to start looking if you dont show up for a day or two.
Not for rape, maybe for being a delinquent. See link below.. In some parts of the country your question should be..." does her daddy have to sell his shotgun to help pay for my funeral when he catches us ? " http://www.answers.com/topic/statutory-rape?cat=biz-fin
This is what I found for you:http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2652 If you look for the date 8-15-2005 it says Lewd or Lascivious Battery. This involves person over 12 but under 16. Hope this is what you were looking for.
Not if you have a license for sex.
Yes. Find your own dam website.
forget the cops...I would be more scared of the girls father....For the love of God if it was my daughter...Ugh....The police may be your saving grace if he ever caught you....

Here is the link to the actual Florida State Statute and laws regarding sexual battery (rape) in the state of Florida. I also cut and paste one definate statute (Lewd and Lascivious) you can be charged under and the more serious possible sexual battery under it. . To answer your question simply..yes you can be charged if the parents pursue this. Consent does not matter at all for a 15 year old but your age will make prosecution difficult but not impossible. More than likely you would be charged under the lewd and lascivious statute which is a felony (1 year or more in prison) which easily meets this case criteria. Keep in mind the statement "custodial authority" can be applied to you in many cases.

Possible serious statute (1st degree felonies are usually 10 years or more). 8) Without regard to the willingness or consent of the victim, which is not a defense to prosecution under this subsection, a person who is in a position of familial or custodial authority to a person less than 18 years of age and who: (a) Solicits that person to engage in any act which would constitute sexual battery under paragraph (1)(h) commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
