hi everyone on the legal matters part of mumsnet, im wondering if anyone could help.

dd had a relationship with a 15 yo boy and the boys mother has gone to the police. i dont want to go into everything but im just wondering if a situation like this would mean prison. can i just say that i didnt know about this relationship. however, this boy was bigger than her!

It really depends on how much older than the boy she is.

LoftDweller · 07/02/2017 16:21

How old is she?

Bluntness100 · 07/02/2017 16:21

How old is your daughter please?

buckingfrolicks · 07/02/2017 16:22

if you're talking about them having sex underage, then no, she won't - in law, she's unable to give consent under the age of 16 so the boyfriend, technically, will have raped her. It is him who stands to be punished (which extremely unlikely, the police won't press charges unless she's upset/saying she's been cooerced etc).

HallowedMimic · 07/02/2017 16:22

How old is she?

Is she a teacher or something?

Mooey89 · 07/02/2017 16:23

It depends how old your daughter is, and whether she is in a position of responsibility?

Costacoffeeplease · 07/02/2017 16:23

It depends on how old she is,'and whether she's in a position of trust/authority

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 07/02/2017 16:25

Very much depends on your DD age.

Bluntness100 · 07/02/2017 16:25

Bucking, I'm assuming the daughter is the age of consent if his mother went to the police and the son is the one who was raped.

BitchPeas · 07/02/2017 16:26

Massively depends if your DD is 17 or 37! Or whatever.

teaforbreakfast · 07/02/2017 16:27

Probably not

BreatheDeep · 07/02/2017 16:27

Did she know he was 15? And how old is she?

LoftDweller · 07/02/2017 16:29

What a pointless thread if you're not going to give relevant details Hmm

Bluntness100 · 07/02/2017 16:30

But even if she's 17 she will be put on the sex offenders register, sorry op. The punishment itself depends on so much more.

BillyButtfuck · 07/02/2017 16:30

This thread is going to be a drip feed nightmare Hmm

FellOutOfBed2wice · 07/02/2017 16:32

As others have said it depends on her age and whether she was a teacher or was in a position of trust.

Going to the police doesn't mean she will be prosecuted and if she is prosecuted it's not a given she's found guilty though she may choose to plead guilty of course. Your daughter needs legal advice immediately and she should act on that advice in terms of the questions she answers.

no position of trust they are at the same school/sixth form, will add that in there too.

Slimmingsnake · 07/02/2017 16:40

Is he nearly 16

BitchPeas · 07/02/2017 16:42

If they go to the same school then she would have known his age and she still had sex with him so that doesn't look good.

BornStroppy · 07/02/2017 16:43

i thought male age of consent was 14? (unless position of trust etc)

scaredofthecity · 07/02/2017 16:45

He is over 14 and she is only 3 years older so I very much doubt there will be any action at all. If it was the other way round would you think anything of it?

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 07/02/2017 16:45

I think theyre too close in age for the police to be interested..

Ilovecaindingle · 07/02/2017 16:46

Unless he has text messages of an abusive nature I think she will be OK. .
