Re: statutory rape

Just keep telling the truth.

She's a little young for you. However, it's always a problem as the girl approaches 18. She's normally going to be dating guys a little older than her. Just stay in her good graces. I also would not try and get back at the sister somehow. You'll end up with the whole family charging you with rape of a minor.
