It depends upon the laws of the state in which the sex act occurred. If it is Louisiana, the age of consent for females is 17, but there may be additional provisions re: the age difference between the male and female that would also make it non-criminal.

Yes, I think so. He is LEGALLY an adult and having sex with a minor is a crime even if you have sex with a celebrity.

Yes, the boyfriend should be tried and sentenced to the max for statutory rape. But, Money and Fame goes a long way in our society. Money talks and BS walks. Period

He has legally broken the statute in Louisiana, but will most likely not be prosecuted. If she wants to protect him, she merely has to say the sex took place in another state. The state can not prove he was involved with her sexually in the state, without her statement.

If, as reported, she is 16 and he is 19, then he can be prosecuted under Louisiana law. The charge would be a felony – "Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile"

"§80. Felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile.
A. Felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile is committed when:
(1) A person who is nineteen years of age or older has sexual intercourse, with consent, with a person who is twelve years of age or older but less than seventeen years of age, when the victim is not the spouse of the offender;"

The maximum penalty for this crime is up to 10 years in State Prison.

To Patrick….. yours would be a VERY bad idea. If she says they crossed a State line and had sex in another State, then that’s a violation of Federal law. Under Federal law there’s a fixed age of 18, and no "Romeo and Juliet" exemptions. He’d be facing a Federal felony.

To make matters worse, Louisiana could STILL prosecute him and if the jury didn’t believe that they never even once had sex in LA, he could be convicted of BOTH crimes.

The age difference is none. She's a kid and he's a kid. And at sixteen she's legally old enough to have consentual sex. But you're just being provocative, right?

Age of consent in Cali is 18. A parent can not consent for a minor child to have sex. If Jamie Lynn had filed for emancipation we would all know that. He should be prosecuted.
