upshot Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Underage Sex & Statutory Rape What is the legal age to have sex? It is illegal to have sex with a person under the age of 16 with or without the minor’s consent. Sex with a person below 16 is called “Statutory Penetration of a Minor Under 16″, S376A, Penal Code. If the minor is a girl below 14, the offence is called statutory rape. What constitutes statutory rape? A girl under 14 years of age is deemed not to be able to consent to sex. Thus, the sexual penetration of a person under 14 years old is deemed to be rape or unlawful sexual penetration, liable to imprisonment for a term up to 20 years plus fine or caning. Is it an offence to have sex with a minor under 16 years old? Yes, the penetration of a penis into the vagina, mouth or anus of a minor under 16 years old regardless of whether she consents to the act is an offence, liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years and / or fine. (Penal Code S377). What if both parties are below 14 years of age? Technically, this still constitutes the offence of statutory rape. However, the police, exercising its discretion and taking into account the age of the parties, may not initiate any charges. What if both parties are 15 years of age? Technically, this still constitutes the offence of Statutory Penetration of a Minor under S376A, Penal Code.

Guest Curious Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Just curious, what if TS kisses or hugs the boy passionately? Is this considered an offence too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 72%dark Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Like everyone else on this thread, I think TS should stay well away from the jailbait. But every time I read about a situation like this, what makes me sad is that we're always quick to assume that the older person is a ‘predator’ and the younger one is the ‘victim’, even though I suspect that in some cases, it may be the older one who is more emotionally vulnerable in a way, and the younger one who is more cunning and manipulative. We tend to want to believe that children/youths are always ‘pure/innocent’ when in fact they often may not be. If we reflect on our own adolescent years, what was the extent of our sexual awareness and our determination to fulfil our burgeoning sexual/romantic urges? Let me be clear, I am absolutely not condoning involvement with minors. I just think that those who find themselves entangled with them may sometimes deserve pity, and those youngsters who prey on and deceive older people deserve a tight slap.

Well as the adult of the two.. how do you think should be mature enough and intelligent enough to make the decision for the TWO OF YOU? Sorry I know where you are coming from but I will always say as the adult you are the one I point the finger to. You always have the option to take yourself out of it being the older and supposedly wiser one. ** Comments are my opinions, same as yours. It's not a 'Be-All-and-End-All' view.

Chronicle Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Just be very careful. There have been cases where the minor does the exploiting: especially after sex, demanding some compensation or they'll claim rape. With him being the minor, and you being the adult, who has more to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aedile1234 Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 I knew such a person. Kept it strictly to chatting online and not even meeting until he grew older. That was quite a good thing actually because if you keep things to conversations only, you can get to know the other party better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azimuth Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 You are only 25 years old and have a bright future ahead. Please don't ruin your life by doing silly things with a minor who cannot even think for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 50yo Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Why not go for a 50 yrs old man instead? More experience and he will treat you as his little boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
