Re: statutory rape
yes its illegal, yes he can be arrested. you are legally to young to legally consent. they can prove it through statements such as the one in this email question. i can only advise his behavior is illegal in the eyes of the law. joey botafucco went to jail for having sex with amy fisher less than a month before her 17th birthday.
