THE PROBLEM OF YOUR 14 YEAR OLD IS THAT IT IS A JUVENILE CASE AS WELL--

Answer 2

It is not up to detectives to charge anyone. They investigate and possibly arrest but the local prosecutor (DA) decides if they are charged.
Prosecutors want to win their cases and not clog the courts with questionable cases.
They decide what is needed.
A good detective would examine the scene and do an in depth interview with the victim. There is a lot of physical evidence that can be used that is not DNA. There is also circumstantial evidence, such as location and relationships. Interrogation with the suspect could easily yield incriminating evidence or a confession.
In this case there is only a 5 year age difference, in some states consensual sex between a 14 year old and a 19 year old makes prosecution questionable.

Answer 3

DNA is enough to have a person arrested. If they arent arresting him, it would be because of lack of dna evidence.
I hope things work out. If the guy doesnt go to jail, he will get his and God will see to it that he learns that what he did was wrong.

Answer 4

if there is no evidence, there is no crime. sorry!

"innocent until proven guilty" is america's motto, so that man is innocent until evidence can be brought forth and then established as truth in a court of law.

Answer 5

Have a shotgun wedding. When she is 30, he will be 35

Answer 6

YES or they would arrest him. Sorry to hear about your problem.
