Can my mother still press charges on my 18 year old boyfriend?

Lucky for you, in MOST states, it is too late for your mother to press charges. In most states the age of consent is 16. However, look at this chart to make sure:

However, if your under the age thats on that chart for your state, your ACS worker is wrong. She CAN press charges even if you consent, because it is still considered statutory rape. The fact of the matter is, if she presses charges, it will go to court. There, you can present the fact that you consented, and it is up to the judge to decide from there.

I don't think so, it's only a two year difference

if your 16 and hes 18 theres nothing your mom can do. theres some law that allows a two year age difference once your 16. so its perfectly legal for you two to be together.

Whether he will get in trouble depends on which state you are in. But she could definitely press charges. And your boyfriend should have been wiser.

It depends on which state you are in, some have 2-3 year leeway laws for this sort of situation.

Question... you and your boyfriend have been together since 8 and 10 years old? I am assuming you mean as childhood friends.

After 8 years of being together why would your mom want to press charges?

He is of age, you are not, could make for a big problem, can you elope and get married? If you've been together that long you might as well stay together for life. What are the laws where you live on matrimony?

I can see you're nuts!

I think she can press charges.

12? Possible; but tough to prove

No as you are under age!

You've been together since you were 8 years old and he was 10? That's insane. Anyway, yes, she can try to press charges. However, he was underage, too, until recently. It also depends on which state you live in. You can try to get emancipated at 16.

It all depends on the law in your state. If he were 3 years older than you, and you lived in California, THEN there would be a problem. But, in California, what you are describing should not be a problem.

Your options are to get your GED and get emancipated. Do you have a job? If not, get one. Save money. Move out and get out from under your mother's thumb.

i think that a girl at age of 16 does not know what she's doing, and an 18 years old buy is just using her for his needs nothing alse. also dont forget that a guy will tell you that he loves you and tell you anything just for his needs not that he cares for you.
