Can anyone tell me the legal case in this event?
2007-02-09 04:17:42 · update #1
If a 16 year old forced intercourse on an adult.
2007-02-09 04:36:00 · update #2
if the minor can overpower the adult then yes it is possible- however a jury might be more likely to believe the minor was the victim unless as previously stated, the minor can over power the adult. so are we talking a strong 16 yr old vs a less than powerful 25 year old? or are we talking a 5 year old and a 40 yr old?

Like, a 16 year old raping a 25 year old? Yeah. What are the legal issues? Uh, rape. What exactly are you asking about here, cuz this is silly!

Yes; if the minor has intercourse with an adult who does not consent to it, then it's rape.

Any person who is capable of recognizing right from wrong is
liable under law for a criminal offense. The crime of rape is non
consensual intercourse by force or threat of force. The statute makes no allowance for marital status or age.

yes... but your lawyer would have a very tough time proving that it's the minor who raped the adult and not the other way round.....
cos the likelihood of judges & jury is they tend to believe it'd be the adult doing so and not the other way round cos any sex with a minor is proved to be illegal.

Is this a trick question? Or the question of someone who has had sex with an underage person and is trying to blame the minor?
If this is a real question, please stop right now and put your thinking cap on.
