Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio
Statutory rape
I have an aquaintence who is a 26 year old female and is in love with a sixteen year male family friend.
She assures me they have never crossed the line and had intercourse but they have been seen hugging and touching in an inappropriate way. I have tried to discourage this relationship in fear or what will happen to my friend. She assures me that as long as they are not having intercourse she is safe. True or fale and why?

Re: Statutory rape
Other than the emotional baggage that comes with the situation and the different places each party is in life. Assuming the worst that they get drunk and then fool around she may be in trouble ie., sexual battery or corruption of a minor, both Felonies. Just remember the story of the teacher who dated one of her students and then she got pregnant. She is now in prison.
