Legal Question in Criminal Law in Oregon

Father out for revenge for daughter daiting older man.

Male 25 meets girl, senior in high school and become friends. We

have fallen in love. We have had sex before she was 18. She is

now 18 and her Dad found out about us dating. There is no proof

of us having sex before she was 18th. Father lied to her and said

that he wanted to meet me and he would allow her to continue to

see me. It was a setup. He yelled at me and called me a sic

individual and pedo. I have never dated a person of this age

before. Father threatened me and made me SWEAR that I would

never contact her again otherwise he would �F� with my life, �call

my employer� call my family and make my life a living hell. He was

very threatening and I felt I was physically in danger. Wife was

outraged at his actions and I hear he continued to Threaten me

and his daughter by saying he would call the cops on me if she

contacted me or if I contacted her. Questions are, Can I be found

guilty of a sex crime, when she is now 18years old and would not

even think about cooperating with any prosecutor? The sex

occurred approx two � three months before her 18 bday. What can

he do if anything to �F� with my life? Do I have any recourse

against his �allegations and threats� if needed down the road?

Re: Father out for revenge for daughter daiting older man.

Now there's proof of this communication on your computer. Don't speak a word of this to anyone except a lawyer. You can still be prosecuted for having sex with a minor and you would probably be subject to sex offender registration. Beware of anyone who tries to draw you into a conversation about the subject, especially over the telephone because they could be recording your statements. Once she's 18, she's an adult and it doesn't matter her partner is 18 or 80.
