One of the girl's in my son's PG had sex with a boy who happened to be 17 years old - she was 15 at the time. Having sex with a 15 year old is considered Statutory Rape. HLA knew about it and did nothing about it.
http://www.cycc.state.ga.us/statutory.htmlStatutory Rape Law
(Per OCGA 16-6-3)
In Georgia, you can go to jail for having sex! The law states:
If you have sexual intercourse with any person under the age of 16 years, you will have committed statutory rape.
A person 21 years of age or older convicted of statutory rape shall be imprisoned for a minimum of ten and up to 20 years.
A person age 17-20 convicted of statutory rape shall be imprisoned for one to 20 years.
If the victim is 14 or 15 years of age and the person convicted is no more than three years older than the victim, the person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
It does not matter if you are male or female.
It does not matter if you are unaware of the victim's age.
It does not matter if the sex is consensual.
