    Can a parent get in trouble for letting older man live with their 15 yr old daughter
    The parents knew how old he was the whole time they were together. The daughter ask the mom if he could move in. The couple got into it and the mom called the cops and told them she only knew about is age for a few weeks. He is charge with class d statutory rape in ky

    Statutory rape occurs when sex involves a child under the age of consent. That means the child can't legally consent and the parents can't consent for them.

    Yes the parents can get into trouble for putting the child in that position. But it is not a defense for the person being accused of rape.

    So he can still get jail time. The parents allowed this to go on for 4 n a half months. They also gave him two counts of sodumy. They lived in the same room. His lawyer said there is lies in this case

    bad1989, you aren't him, and he has a lawyer, and there are too many 2nd hand reports this way. Let his lawyer do his or her job.

    You are the 2nd hand reporter. There are far too many details that you don't have that the lawyer will sort out. Maybe if the parents realize that they can be in trouble too they will try to get the DA to drop the charges, but the DA can proceed anyway.

    Im a witness to all this. His lawyer drop his bond from 50,000 to 500. There is a no contact order on him. The girl already contacted him on fb

    So you were standing there when they had sex ? You were in the court when court dropped the bond, ( his attorney can not drop a bond, only ask for a reduction)

    If he is on bail, and she is the victim, there is already a law in place to keep him from contcting the victim of the crime that he is charged with.

    And yes, parents can not give consent, and the girl can not. So yes he will be going to prison almost sure of it, in fact they should be ready for several years at least, here in GA they will get from 3 to 7 years and I have seen some at 10 year sentence, with them serving 1/2 to 3/4 of it.

    No I was not there while the sex happen. I just know that her parents let him move in knowing his age and stay in the same room with her. When he first met her she told him that she was 16

    Go to prison for what? Having sex with an underage girl? You haven't said how old he is, but have you ever heard the term "jail bait"? Having sex with a 15 year old is ILLEGAL. He should have known better, regardless of what the parents did.

    Yes the parents should be prosecuted for letting him live in the same room as a 15 yr old girl. But that doesn't change his problem. I don't know what lies his lawyer says are being told, but there is ONE important fact here. Did he have sex with a girl under 16? If he did and that can be proven then he stands a good chance of going to jail and living with a sex offender tag for the rest of his life.

    And if the girl contacted him on FB, he should not respond or he will get into more trouble.

    He is 23. When he first met her and her friend lied about her age. He funded out by a tattoo that the girl was 15 after they had sex a was staying the night which the mother knew

    So when did he notice this tattoo? As soon as he did he should have have run from the room. But apparently he continued to have sex with her.

    And how old did he think she was that she was still living at home? Shouldn't that have been a clue to at least check her age more carefully? At 23 he should have known better.

    I'm sorry but your friend is either feeding you a line or he's a fool who will be lucky to avoid a lifetime sex offender tag. If I were him (and his lawyer), I would try to plead this down to avoid the sex offender tag. Maybe he can avoid jail too. Depends on how sympathetic the prosecution is.

    Scottgem. A week after he met her. Ag this time things already happen and the mother knew about him. He was told my the girl and there friend that she was 16

    Yes he should have left. The parents never said anything to him. Her mom would mention that he is 23 with out a job when they would argue.

    At 23, he is gone to jail, sorry don't know a court anywhere in the US that will not put a 23 year old in jail for having sex with a 15 year old. The issue now is how many years, good attorney and a plea bargain is going to be his best prayer

    CPS should be called on the parents, it is very likely they may remove the child from the home at least temp while they investigate

    It matters that her mom knew, but what matters most is that HE knew. He knew she was jail bait, but continued to have sex with her.
