    Statutory rape laws ontario
    My roommate is 27 yrs old and dating and having daily sex with a 17 yr old girl [it started when she was 16] The biggest problem I have is the age difference itself but also is it a crime I live in the province of ontario . Ive threatened to go to the police myself about it but I'm unsure about how to go about it .Im a parent of a daughter myself and am totally disgusted with the entire mess I'm seeing
