What would I be charged with for contacting minor when I am an adult?
Question Details: My gf's parents filed a complaint against me for talking to her daughter, she’s 17 and I’m 21. The officer said I would be charged with a felony because I am an adult. What I would be charged with? From what I understand, a no contact order is to protect someone from violence. There is NO WAY it could be proved I’m a danger to this girl. I am the best influence in her life. It seems like there is no official restraining/no contact order. Just a no trespassing order(I went to their house to talk to the dad trying to get permission to date their daughter)with a note that says no contact w/her
Personal Injury Law Answers
I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. Based on the fact that the girl is 17 i am not sure how you can be charged with a crime for beign friends with her or having a sexual relationship with her, unless you cannot consent to sex at 17. In many states, the legal age of consent for sex is 16. Nevertheless, the father is the owner of the house and if he does not want you around and believes that you are likely to harm his daughter - which is probably not true - he will likely be able to do this. The no trespassing order; however, should only remain in effect for a certain period of time. I suggest finding out the date the order expires and not fight this as you will only upset the dad. if you care about the girl, then you should obey the dad.
