I can find no state statute, law, or ammendment that says that there is a minimun age difference between someone over the legal age of consent and the person being accused of the crime. It was with consent and no one denys that. Why am I still being charged and going before a jury trial?

So you are a bag of french fries short of a happy meal. What does "over 16" mean? Any reason you don't want to give valid ages for your question. If you are 35 (over 24) and she is 16 and a day, you seduced her and committed statutory rape. Why not pick on girls in your own age group?
You could end up with having to register as a sex offender for LIFE which will affect your job opportunities, your living opportunities etc. Serves you right.

I don't know about your particular state, but in a lot of states if you are over 18 and have sex with someone under 18, even if that person is over the age of consent but under 18, you are guilty of statutory rape. I'm sure there is a law somewhere in there. Get a lawyer or research some more at findlaw.com

I live in Oklahoma, and I can definitely shed some light on this. If she is under 18, you cannot be over 21. That's the law.
If she was willing, and lied about her age, get a good lawyer. If you knew her age, and she was willing, they say ignorance of the law is no excuse. However, I think your sentencing would be really light.
Now, I must encourage you to, in the future, know the laws of your state.
However, if anyone forces a woman to perform sexual acts against her will (I say this as a rape victim), the criminal deserves to die. Period.
I don't think force is the case here, though.

15 will get you 20....
you are an adult and should know better then to sleep with a minor. I mean most 16 year old can not even drive yet! YOu may weasle out of this one, but I think you should be held responsible for your actions.
she is a child...I know...i have been a 16 year old girl and I have been a 24 year old woman.
you are of an age that you need to be a man and keep it in your pants.

No matter what the law states, you need a lawyer. Without good representation you are f'd big time. Get a lawyer. Don't mess around with a court appointed lawyer either, or you'll be sorry.

I got a question for you....what in hell are you doing with a 16 year old!!! If I was you I would be more worried about what her father is going do to you than going to jail. I mean if i found out a sleazy 24 old was all over my 16 year old daughter I would track you down like the dog you are.....but I guess that's just me.......Have fun in jail!

You need legal advice, you can educate here but only if they want to be educated, you probably can not find good legal advice. I am not sure, I think you would have to ask a lawyer.

Are you sure she didn't tell her parents you raped her to keep them from being mad?

Don't worry, at least you had your fun--they can't take that away from you.
