Can a minor girl be prosecuted for a lesbian relationship with another minor?

A friend of mine is very worried that his 17 year old daughter is way too friendly with a 15 year old girl. The 15 year old is legally a child. If there is sexual contact, can the 17 year old be prosecuted for child molesting? America seems to be more accepting of gay relationships than ever before, but sex is sex. Is a girl-girl thing as dangerous as a boy-girl thing?

    It varies by state.

    The gender has nothing to do with it. This is strictly a matter of age - not gender, not sexuality.

    The California State Penal Code section 288 is pretty clear on the topic of sex crimes against children. The gender has less to do with the crime against children. It is the age of those that are involved in a sex crime that determines whether the crime is a Misdemeanor or a Felony.

The disgusting way youngsters handle one yet another via media, in the back of the exhibit, they are secure and those sick, twisted b*st*rds positioned it on line. i might wager on it that folk on line in all danger reported terrible issues approximately her, too. Rape is linked with disgrace, if issues have been in comparison to that and we positioned all the disgrace on the rapists, who knows, that little lady could nonetheless be alive suitable now. i won't be able to think of how she could have felt, that she might fairly take her very own existence than handle the international that all of us stay in on the instant.

    Absolutely. She can and should be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor as well as molestation.

    Your friend can help his daughter by getting her into counseling now. Hopefully the judge would go easier on the girl if things were in place to help her.
