Sorry, I should have linked to the correct page. On a linked page:"Hello, I was just curious as to how someone gets prosecuted for statutory rape. Do charges have to be pressed by a parent? Or can the state government prosecute on it's own reguardless of parental opinion? EDITOR: In most US jurisdictions, the state may bring charges for statutory rape EVEN when the all parents and children involved are AGAINST such an action. The parent of the younger child can always being an action -- and it is irrelevant whether the child agrees with the action."But the site in general is very informative, although some of the more specific laws are somewhat dated (not surprising, considering the breadth and changeability of the info).
