10 year old girl in trouble
alright i hav a distant relationship with this girl. she is 10 years old and im 15/m. ok first thing i kno what your thinking, the age difference. well i really dont care, age doesnt matter to me its the the person you found true love with. well anyways we are just distant bf and gf but someday we hope to meet eachother. when we were talking on the phone she said that she's gonna might be in some sort of trouble for making out with a guy who is like 15 years old. her friends knew and are going to tell her dad because they think it counts as child molesting. first of all does that even count as child molesting? the guy is only like 5 years older than her and i dont think there was no forcing they just kissed. oh and the girl may be 10 but she is more developed, she has the body and mind of a teen and i know her friends were just protecting her. so does it even count as child molesting? she said she might get some sort of counseling and i dont wanna lose her if they do anything to keep her away from older guys. i'm not like the bad kind of guy. it's just something about her makes me feel all warm inside..

WOAHHHHHHH...i realize that 5 years is not much of a difference...but when you're dealing with a 10 year old and a 15 year old...it might as well be decades apart. What is she in...4th grade?? I'm sorry to say it (i dont want to be rude...but thats soo disturbing). My sister is 10 years old, and if some 15 year old tried to go out with her, or kiss her, i would have him killed.
I relaly dont mean to be rude...but you reallllllly need to find someone your own age.

I don’t know where people get their information sometimes...
Most states would define what happened to her as sexual assault or sexual interference. Yes, even though it was just a kiss, and it wasn’t forced, there are still states where the 15 year old could be charged, there are all a whole host of other things someone can be charged with besides rape and molestation. The DA would look at her particular case and would probably not choose to press charges, but I really do want to impress this on you, and I’m not calling you a bad person, I’m just giving you the facts: A 15 year old involved in any sort of sexual contact, kissing, holding, dating, with a 10 year old, is illegal in most states.
It is true that many states have it written into their sexual assault laws that teens close in age won’t be charged. Georgia wont charge if the offender is no more than three years older then victim, Ohio will only fine an offender if that offender is less that four years older than the victim. No state makes allowances for 5 years age difference; four is pretty much the max.
Also. If she is ever 15 and you are 21, a sexual relationship could get you charged in most states (Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, Missouri, Louisiana, New York, to name a few…) If you plan on perusing this is the future, you better know you state laws and know them well, and know how judges commonly interpret them.
As I said before, dating or kissing isn’t statutory rape or molestation, but there are other things a person can be charged with, and the parents, and state, have legal avenues to pursue.
A relationship, between a 10 year old and a 15 year old is pretty generally accepted as a harmful thing. I would encourage you, as I’d encourage anyone is an online relationship, to not put too much stock into text on a screen, and get out and experience the real world as well. No matter how mature she is, she isn’t fifteen. It will be a solid decade before you and her at really at the same level of understanding and maturity. Those are the facts of life, and of the laws. You might not like them, you might not even believe them, but your opinions don’t change them, so you better educate yourself.

Well, it's definitely NOT child molestation. If it was, you'd be 18+ and you guys would be having sex by force or without force.
However, where I live [VA] the law says that touching intimate body parts of a person younger than age 13 or having them touch yours, or sexual intercourse with a person younger than age 13, even with the person's consent is considered a felony. So you should watch out for that. People are biast against everything: especially if the age difference is 5 years and if the younger person is age 10. Let me tell you now, though, that when a 15 year old guy is after a 10 year old girl, it seems pretty bad.
You guys need to work this out between you two first. Make a deal that no matter what, you guys will remain at the least friends.

Hey.
It is only child molestation if they had sex.
That being said, they are both under 16, which means they are under 18, which means there is absolutly nothing anyone (including police) can do about it if sex was forced.
If he was 16-17, it would be statatory rape. If he was 18+ it could be statatory rape or child molestation, depends on the situation. Keep in mind, thats only if they had sex.
There isn't anything anyone can do if it was just kissing.

Unless the guy forced her to make out with him and all that, no it isn't child molesting. And to me, the guy should let the 10 year old go, like some other people will say, she's just a kid! Doesn't matter how she thinks or looks, it matters on the age. And plus distant relationships sometimes never work out (sadly, I've learned this and so have my friends b/c we started dating guys who didn't go to our school). I wish you the best of luck, and I hoped I helped

If you mean making out as in having sex, then yes it will be classed as molestation. If they were just kissing then no it probably won't. Regardless of the fact that she may be a 'mature' 10 year old, she is still very much a child. Her friends should be commended for looking out for her and her parents will obviously want to protect her. The best thing you can do is simply remain her long distance friend for now and wait for her to mature a bit more. Good luck.
