I am 13 and my boyfriend is 18 could he go to jail for that.. (what is the legal age limit in canada for dating?)

Lanichu · Mar 17, 2010, 12:10 PM

Yes he can.
First off, I just want to say that's a pretty big age gap for someone of your age.
Shouldn't he be dating someone closer to his age and same goes for you?

SARAHCUTE · Mar 17, 2010, 12:14 PM

Welll, to tell you the truth it is a bigg age gapp, but we also respect each other and to me it doesn't really matter about the agge thing it matters for the feelingss you have for them, but I want to be responsible and dump him so nothing to major happens, over this

OMG hell yeah he can go to jail for that you are 2 young to be going out with a guy that's 18 and your 13 bad things can happen, he can rape you, he can take you to a party and leave you there and do your parents know about this because that seems pretty dangerous if you ask me!!

Actually, age matters when you're 13 and he's 18. He's out of high school for heavens sake, what could he possibly want with a 13 year old child?

Please dump him, and if you must be dating at 13, find someone your own age. This guy could very well go to jail over this. What do your parents think about this?

If you were my daughter he would be in jail, right after he was able to get out of the hospital. So a big hell yes is my answer!!

If you were my daughter, he would be in the hospital and then jail!

You are playing with fire youngster and you are going to get burned.

I hope you are smart enough to know the meaning of "jail bait".

This "Genius" you are seeing doesn't seem to be very smart!:mad:

If I were your mom, you would be grounded until you are eighteen.

Have you had sex with this "Romeo"?

Assuming he even finished High School!:eek:

Agreed, if you were my daughter, he would want to be in jail, he would be at the police station begging to be in jail, before I got it.

1. he is a pediphile no 18 wants a 13 for anything but sex with a young child

2, no you are not "that mature" and no he is not diffferent

3. at 13, even suggesting, any touching sexually even with clothes on, could end him up with jail.

Who pursued whom! I can't believe any parent would approve of this. Does he graduate this year?:eek:

First you asked a legal question. The answer to that question is there are no laws that regulate dating. There are laws that regulate sexual activity. I believe the age of consent in Canada is 16 so he could go to jail if there is any sexual activity.

But since you didn't post this in a legal forum, I'll also deal with the other unasked parts of the question. An 18 yr old has no business with a 13 yr old. You are at very different stages of your life and the only thing I can see an 18 yr old be interested in a 13 yr old is for sex.

Age doesn't matter when you are both adults. If you were 18 and he was 23, I wouldn't bat an eye. If you were 25 and he was 30 I'd say that was about right. But when one is a minor, especially 13, age VERY much matters.

It's not worth the risk. Even if you two didn't have sex and didn't break the law, he'll be judged unfavorably by just about everyone except you.

Really, this isn't even a question about law, it's ethics. He'll remain suspect with everyone who knows of your relationship. His friends who have younger sister's will watch his every move and probably avoid him altogether, teachers will pay close attention to his wandering eyes, teachers will inform the police department to keep an eye out, the list goes on.

Your boyfriend can't be too swift.
