My daughter has been talking to/flirting with a 32 year old man an she is only 19. She says nothing has happened, but I want to know for sure. My cell phone company won't give up the records without a subpoena. Could I get one even though I am not suing or no crime has been committed?

It would be impossible for you to get them. A court must have a reason to give them to you.
On another note, she's 19. Let her make her own mistakes.

She's over 18 so unless a actual crime has been committed you aren't going to see her text messages. Is her phone on your account or does she have her own account? If it's on your account I would think they would give you records, although, she IS over the legal age and you really don't have any right to pry into her personal correspondence without extremely good cause. A 32 year old guy is probably about on her level maturity wise anyway. I wouldn't get too upset unless, of course, he is married! Trust your daughter when she tells you there is nothing to worry about!

Hopefully you have ensured that she has had a proper education in such matters as procreation and AIDS.
If she lives in your home, you can set some rules of behavior, but there is the risk she will move out.
She seems like she is old enough to decide for herself if she wants to have a relationship with an older man.
You can call that older man & tell him that if he continues to be in contact with your daughter, you will report him to the police for being a sex offender. The police probably won't do anything, but the threat may chill the relationship.
You do not know if any crime has occurred.
You do not know if she is pregnant with him, or any other male.

She's 19- tell her to get a job and pay her own cell phone bill.
Legally, she's an adult. You can't read her mail just because it's delivered to your mailbox. You can't read her text messages just because the phone is on your account.
So you have a choice - open honest communication with your daughter and trust her - and keep paying her cell phone bill and enabling her. Or tell her she's an adult and it's time she started taking responsibility and pay her on cell phone bill. If she is responsible with her minutes - she should be able to easily pay the bill with a part time job.
Also - have a good talk with her about credit and the importance of paying her bills on time. This would be a good opportunity for her to start building her own credit rating.

Depend if it is your phone or not.But as far as anything criminal 19 and 32 is legal,what you are trying to do is being a snoop,and should mind your own business.

She's 19 and a legal adult. You have no chance.
