Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kansas

lude and lisevious behavior

My nephew was 16 and with his girlfriend of 15 found ''parking''. She had her pants off (underwear on) and he had his shirt off. The parents of the girl (father is a cop) had no objections (they really liked him) but he was charged with assault and lude and lesivious behavior. Is that normal in most states with a boy being under 18? Also, now he turned 19 he is dating a 17yr old who just turned 18. Can her parent get him for having sex with her before she turned 18?

Re: lude and lisevious behavior

Whether it is normal or not, almost any person can commit a crime. His minor status doesn't technically change anything or protect him in this situation. In theory, yes, he might get into trouble for his relations with a minor, but there would have to be proof. I.e. I doubt that a parent's word that they were having sex would prompt an arrest.
