what if two people work together... 20 and 16? and the 20 yr old is a manager.. does that mean its illegal?
Answers:
yes.. "any person"
yes it's illegal. the 20 yr old can be charged with statutory rape, even if the 16 yr old is consenting...
yes.
any 20 year old boss who has sexual contact with a 16 year old co-worker has committed the crime.
It's illegal only under these circumstances
1) there is sexual contact or attempted sexual contact
2) that 16 is not the legal age of an adult in the state laws
Yes, per the plain language that you cite. Does she need representation for the civil suit?
