    Hi everyone I have a dilemma yesterday I gave a coworker a ride home and he asked if I could pick up his girlfriend and we get to her house and she looks young I mean very young and I asked him how old she is and he says she 18 going on 19 and he is 38-40YRS. I think the age of consent is 17 but is he in violation of the law? I thought there was a provision that if you wanted to have fun time with someone younger than you, you had to be within a certain age? Should I mention something to him if he is in violation of the law or just keep out of his business?

    Why would the law care who has fun time?

    It is NOT unlawful for a person to have sex with a 17 year old regardless of age difference.

    Thank him - he's just told you volumes about his moral character, IMO.

    Illegal, no. Is she fit company for a man that old? Not IMO. Anyone his age should realize that not only are there very real generational issues, but that she's in NO way mentally prepared for this kind of relationship.

    Huh.......If she's of legal age it's not an issue. I would ask though how y'all would
    feel if it was your daughter or sister. Would you still be saying he was lucky then?

    I think you are confusing sarcastic humorous internet comments with real life.
