Statutory rape is illegal sexual activity between two people when it would otherwise be legal if not for their age. The actual ages for these laws vary greatly from state-to-state, as do the punishments for offenders. Many states do not use the actual term "statutory rape," simply calling it rape or unlawful sexual penetration. These laws rarely apply only to intercourse, but rather to any type of sexual contact. Dating someone without sexual contact cannot be considered a form of statutory rape, and is almost never illegal.

All states have an "age of consent," or an age at which a person can legally consent to sexual activity and can then no longer be a victim of statutory rape. Some states also have laws that look at the age difference between the two people as well as their individual ages. All states have laws that have restrictions on the relationship between the two people, changing the age of consent, or the penalty, for sexual relations between a person of authority, such as a teacher, assistant coach, or tutor. These laws change, and can vary depending on other circumstances. For more information on how these laws apply in the various states, try the Answer Board.

Statutory rape charges can be brought up by the victim, parents of the victim, and in most states, they can be raised by the state. California has been a major example of this, filing charges against fathers of pregnant women, at the protest of both the women and the parents of the involved parties.

Statutory Rape Author: Darren Kavinoky

Statutory Rape laws are based on the premise that until a person reaches a certain age, that individual is legally incapable of consenting to sexual intercourse. Thus, it is a crime for an adult to have sexual intercourse with a person under the legal age of consent, which is 18 years of age. California's statutory rape law is found in Penal Code Section 261.5. California has begun a concerted effort to use its statutory rape laws as a means of reducing pregnancies and births among minors. The attempt was prompted by recent research indicating that two-thirds of babies born to school-aged mothers in the state were fathered by adult men, who, on average, were more than four years older than their adolescent partners.

* The severity of the punishment depends on the relative ages of the two people, either of whom may be male or female.
* It is a misdemeanor for a person who is at least 18 years old to have sexual intercourse with a minor who is three years younger than that person.
* If the victim is more than three years younger than the perpetrator, the crime can be either a misdemeanor or a felony.
* If the victim is under the age of 16 and the perpetrator is 21 years of age or older, and they engage in sexual intercourse, the crime can be either a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in county jail or imprisonment in the state prison for 2, 3, or 4 years.
* In addition to criminal penalties, there may be civil penalties as well. The district attorney may bring actions to recover civil penalties.
* An adult who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor less than two years younger than the adult is liable for a civil penalty up to $2,000.
* An adult who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor at least two years younger than the adult is liable for a civil penalty up to $5,000.
* An adult who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor at least three years younger than the adult is liable for a civil penalty up to $10,000.
* An adult over the age of 21 years who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor under 16 years of age is liable for a civil penalty up to $25,000.

Age of Consent

The "Age of Consent" is a term not found in many state statutes, but rather reflects an absence of prohibition. As used on this website, this age reflects the age at which a person can legally consent to most types of sexual activity with another person. This age varies from 15-18 in most states. There are still restrictions in some states on what type of sexual activity is permissable, such as oral sex and sodomoy, as well as restrictions of the relationship of the two people, such as a teacher-student relationship. These restrictions typically run until the age of 18, though some states still have laws against oral sex or sodomy at any age.

Defining Adult Attraction to Minors

Some academic writers who use "paedophilia" to refer to pre-pubescent children use the word

*hebephilia*, or sometimes * ephebophilia *, to refer to the sexual attraction of an adult to

an adolescent (ie. to someone between the stages of puberty and adulthood).



As Australia's Parliamentary Joint Committee on the National Crime

Authority comments:





The Macquarie Dictionary defines "paedophilia" as: "sexual

attraction in an adult towards children". . . .



In the medical and sociological literature phrases such as "true paedophilia"

and "genuine paedophilia" are used to refer to biologically pre-pubescent children. . . .



Some academic writers who use "paedophilia" to refer to pre-pubescent children use the word

"hebephilia", or sometimes "ephebophilia", to refer to the sexual attraction

of an adult to an adolescent (ie. to someone between the stages of

puberty and adulthood). However, these terms appear to be rarely used

outside academic writings.





The above statement only begins to plumb the complexity of the problem

of finding adequate terminology for adult attraction to minors. Here, to

show the full intricacy, is a listing of the etymological, clinical/scholarly,

and lay definitions of words that are commonly used to refer to

minor-attracted adults. (The clinical/scholarly and lay meanings are given

according to how the words are commonly used, not how the words are

defined in the dictionary. Multiple meanings are due to different authors

using the same word in different ways.)



PEDOPHILE



Etymological meanings: Pedo- or paedo- is derived from the Greek word

paidos, meaning "boy" or "child." Paidophiles seems to have

been used in ancient times primarily to refer to a man who fell in love with male

adolescents.



Clinical meanings: An adult who is attracted to prepubescent children.

More narrowly, certain criteria are usually set forth to define the form that

attraction takes.



Lay meanings: An adult who is attracted to prepubescent children; an

adult who is attracted to minors; an adult who molests minors; an

adolescent who is attracted to or molests younger children.



HEBEPHILE



Etymological meanings: According to the Liddell-Scott Greek-English

Lexicon, the legal term hebe meant "the time before manhood, at Athens

sixteen years of age"; according to another ancient source cited by

Liddell-Scott, the time before fourteen, and according to an ancient source

on Sparta, the time before eighteen. More generally, the word meant

"youth."



Clinical meanings: An adult who is attracted to adolescents; an adult who

is attracted to adolescents younger than eighteen.



Lay meanings: The word is not commonly used in lay speech.



EPHEBOPHILE



Etymological meanings: According the Liddell-Scott Greek-English

Lexicon, the word ephebos meant "one arrived at adolescence" ≠ a youth



of eighteen years or older, according to most ancient sources. The word

was also used to mean "boy" or "young girl."



Clinical meanings: An adult who is attracted to adolescents; an adult who

is attracted to adolescents younger than eighteen; an adult who is

attracted to adolescents eighteen and older.



Lay meanings: The word is not commonly used in lay speech.



PEDERAST



Etymological meanings: As in the case of pedophile, pederast is derived

from the Greek word paidos, meaning "boy" or "child."

Paiderastes was a synonym of paidophiles, referring primarily to a man who fell in love with

male adolescents. SOURCE

Interesting thread...

As far as I concern that it's an illegal to have sex under 21 years old in America.

It's legal to have sex between 14 and 16 years old in Europe countries. For America is an illegal to have sex until 21 years old.

It's important to teach children that the sex is not fun for anyone...

Sex is FUN.
it's responsiblity that needs to be taught, as well as some ethics. Like - say 45 be trying to score with a 14 - 16 year old...

Gary Glitter deported from Cambodia, entered Thailand



Former pop star Gary Glitter has now entered Thailand after beeing deported from Cambodia for paedophilia.

Disgraced former pop star Gary Glitter has been deported from Cambodia, it was confirmed today.

Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was detained there on 26 and 27 December and was deported on December 28, the Foreign Office said.

He is understood to have been deported to Thailand.

Glitter's lawyers are understood to be challenging the deportation. After he was detained, the decision to deport him was taken by the Cambodian authorities.

British officials had no involvement in the decision, the Foreign Office said.

Foreign Office officials were unable to say exactly why Glitter had been detained and then deported. He was convicted in Britain in 1999 of downloading child pornography from the Internet and served half of a four-month sentence before being released.

More than a year ago he moved to Phnom Penh, which has gained a reputation as a centre for paedophilia, and Cambodian police have had him under surveillance.

The country's Minister for Women's Affairs, Mu Sochua, last year called for him to be expelled because of his conviction in England but the government said that would not happen unless he broke Cambodian law.

Yes sex is fun but NOT sex with anyone for the fun...

Do you teach your children to have sex with anyone for the fun? Is it okay to teach your children to open their legs for anyone?

For me, NO! I teach my children what sex is, sex safe, responsible, etc... the sex is for couple who love each other. It's no fun to have sex with anyone but with a man whom I love...

Gotcha, I'm SO not a morning person

Gemtun said:

For sure, I will go out and buy a shotgun and :rl: this b*stard for doing it to my girl when she is 15 and him 19. Emotions are too deep here to put it in mere words of how I feel about this.

By the way, my daughter just turned 10 today and I intend to protect her in every way I can. Nineteen year olds have nothing in common with fifteen year olds anyway. Nineteen year old men should take responsibility and avoid young girls but I know that their dicks tend to go the other way.
