Dating a 16 yrs old girl

[mrfran]

Ok i was 18 and she was 16 when we started dating here at South Carolina, my friends who was way more older than me kept trying to be smart about it and doing their best to keep me away from that girl like they thought i'll have sex with her which i never did or even consider and it did frustrate me,

i know there's nothing wrong with dating and even if we did have sexual contact, i know the age of consent here is 16 so it is legal right? i just want to confront my friends about this issue coz it bothers me everytime i remember it,

now she flew back to california and i'll visit her next week for my vacation, and i just turned 19 by the way, and she's about to turn 17 and i know state laws at California is a bit different here from South Carolina, can anyone give me a quick do's and dont's and some explanation why?

i also want to ask if a guy(28yrs) dating a 20yr old female is completely legal


Thank you very much

Anyone 18 and over is a legal adult, so they can pretty much date anyone they want over 18.

Stop listening to your friends. Sounds like you have committed no crime. I would be careful about doing anything with her until she reaches 17. deven then its hard to prove any crime occured and she or her mother would have to complain to the police and even then sex between a 17 yr old and 19 yr old is not illegal in most states. Most states make it a crime if the person older than 18 is more than 2 or 3 years older, but it varies by state.

i read that in california it's a misdemeanor to have sex with someone younger than 18 if the offender is less than three years older. Someone more than three years older could be charged with a felony.


well i don't really have to worry about it here at south carolina... i just wana stomp on my friends feet coz i tried explaining it to them but they tried being smarter than me coz they're all like 25-28 yrs old folks...

i just wana prove them that even though im a bit young... i know my stuff..

im more worried during my vacation to see her at california though.. i know we can go out in public right? and as long as i never do anything sexual with her then i'll be safe

so i guess her ex can be sued of sexual molestation? coz she was kinda forced to have sex with him when she was 15 and her ex was 18? it's at california btw
