Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in United States

Yes, if you have sex with her when she is 14 or under, you could be charged with a felony known as first degree child molestation sexual assault - otherwise known as statutory rape - http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/Statutes/TITLE11/11-37/11-37-8.1.HTM

Generally, you may want to read EVERY word of Chapter 37, Title 11: http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/Statutes/TITLE11/11-37/INDEX.HTM

Put differently, you should refrain from having sex until she is at least the age of consent (16 years old).

Until your girlfriend turns 16, it will be unlawful for you to have sexual relations with her and you could be charged with a number of offenses including rape if you were to have sexual contact with her. She cannot consent to have any sexual contact with you until she is 16 under Massachusetts law. You could be in huge legal trouble if you had any such contact with her so I would find another girlfriend if I were you so as to avoid any temptation. Nowadays, and even when I was your age in the 1970s, young people tend to have a succession of boyfriend or girlfriend relationships. Although it may seem urgent to have a relationship with her now, this could be a fleeting interest on your part. If you are destined to be together, you can do so when she turns 16 with far fewer potential legal problems.

The law on this varries from state to state. You cannot believe either of the previous answers unless you happen to live in the same states as those lawyers, and I cannot answer your question without knowing what state you live in.

Who do you think you're kidding? All it takes is for your girlfriend or one of her pals to rat you out to her mother or school counselor and you are in jail.

Don't think that will ever happen? Then, you know nothing about teenage girls. If you get caught, you'll register as a sex offender for at least ten years in addition to incarceration.

Just want to be only friends? Ask yourself "If my girlfriend didn't have a vagina, would she still be my girlfriend?".

What's your answer?
