Re: Statutory Rape
Statutory rape is a status offense. The fact that she is under 18 is all that counts. She cannot legally consent.
Moving in is a possibility, if she is not engaging in intimate relations with an over-18 male. There is an issue of 'coorupting a minor' and also, why is she not living with parents and going to school.? But it is not a sex-crime and a felony like statutory rape.
Waiting a few more months has a huge plus side - good luck.
