Can a 24 year guy date a 16 year old if he has permission from her parents?

What if he doesn’t have sex with her?@akindheart

@WendyLopez43 let me tell you a story. my exhusband's son was set to be married. her cousin who was 14 came onto him. he didn't think with the right head. he head sex. she turned on him after he married her cousin. he is now serving 4 years for statutory rape. do you trust her word? i dont'

@akindheart I get that it seems unfair but even if she came on to him.. he, being an adult, was not helpless, he made a choice, others would have made a different choice, however tempted they were. She was still technically a child, and so the law is the law. I think many would have sympathy for your cousin though.

@Adaydreambeliever it is my exhusband's son. yes i think he was not the brightest bulb in the bunch but she did lead him on
