If a 15 year old has sex with older guys, whose fault is it, her's or the guys?

Question

If she chooses to go out with these 18+ older guys, and has sex with them. Whose fault is it, her's or theirs?

Answer 1

It's the guy's fault 100%.

He's the adult...eh?

It's his responsibility to know the lawful penalty for the act...

So, he shouldn't be surprised to pay the consequences for it...eh!

He's the more mentally mature party.





Where are her parents in this?



The Bible says to follow the law. So, if the Law considers her "Underage" and him an "Adult"....You know the rest.



God Bless

Answer 2

Legally, it's the guy's fault. If she's a mature 15 and knows what she wants, and the guy isn't so old that it's intimidating, it isn't anyone's fault because nobody did anything wrong. If she only says yes because she wants to impress a 25 year old man who is only after sex, it's definitely his fault for pressuring her.



Of course, if she's 15 and still doesn't know about condoms it's her own fault for being an idiot. That's true of anyone having unprotected sex when they're not trying for a baby together (and those who want a baby but can't look after it yet).

Answer 3

Not only is it wrong, because you do not know his true intentions, but it is also illegal. I don't have the patience to explain why it is wrong, I've had to explain it far too many times on here already. It's just different when you're older. When he is 19 and you're 15, the age gap is way too much. I understand that you may want to defend his intentions as good, by that's not the way it works. People mature mentally. In the brain- and their way of thinking changes. Now, how are you to know his intentions are good? Answer that. & How are you to know he is loyal to you? Answer that. & How are you to know that he truly respects you if you "almost" had sex that one night? Answer that. Good luck. Personally, I would let him go and move on with someone more compatible for me and my age group. I find dating in very young ages and older ages a bit disturbing when it comes to the question of sex and truthfulness.

Answer 4

An older man should realize (if for no other reason) that society says that a 15 year old isn't capable of informed consent with sexuality--and has instituted rules and punishment to ensure this behavior is restricted. Therefore--the older man should know better--regardsless of the morality or immorality--it is something socieity as a whole has taken a position on and enforces. By all logic then, it is on the guy.

Answer 5

The 15 year old needs to get psycological help and the older male needs to obey the laws of the state and go find his self a woman not a child to lay with. Men trip and only are looking for an unattachable good time for his self but he forgets a lot of these women are mentally and emotionally damaged and would he really like a man to show his daughter the same kindnesses he showed another man's?

Answer 6

Legally, only an adult can give consent. So a 15 year old cannot give legal consent. In addition, despite how mature they may look and sometimes act, 15 year olds really aren't in a position yet to really know what they're agreeing to. So no matter how you look at it, if an older guy has relations of any kind with a girl that age, he's the one at fault.



Even if he sends an angel to put the moves on the girl in his place.

Answer 7

15 year sex older guys fault guys

Answer 8

hmmm ive had to deal with this alot (i have weird female friends) i have come to the opinion that as long as BOTH of them understand what is happening and consequences and as long as the guy knows her age it is ok. i dont see fault in their at all.



yes the law says its the guys fault. funnily enough though no one seems to care if a 18+ women has sex with a 15 year old boy.

Answer 9

As an older person, the "guy" is expected to be wiser, or at least wise enough to not break the law.



I know in reality that often 18 year old boys are not at all wise, while 18 year old men are more than wise enough to stay away from this kind of trouble.



Hope that helps.

Answer 10

Legally it is the responsibility of the adults to control behavior of children, and to control their own behavior around children. If you are 18 or older, you are an adult and therefore fully responsible for the situation. Same if an adult woman has sex with a teenaged boy, or girl btw. It's not a male-famale issue, it's an adult-child issue.



If an adult buys alchohol for a teenager, and the teenager drinks it, the adult is still legally responsible. It is called contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Answer 11

Frankly, it's the fault of both. At 15 years of age, most children are aware of the dangers of intimate sexual contact (unwanted pregnancies, STD, etc) so she should know better if her parents have taught her anything. As far as the 18+ man is concerned, there is absolutely no excuse for him and he should be prosecuted for child abuse and rape.

Answer 12

Both. I think 15 year olds are old enough to make their own decisions, including who they have sex with.



Seriously, what's the difference between a 15 year old having sex with a 17 year old and a 15 year old having sex with an 18 year old? How many people do you know of whose lives have been utterly destroyed because they had sex with someone who was 3 years older than them?

Answer 13

Both of them are at "fault". The law only steps in here because of the age difference.

Answer 14

It would be both at fault. Although, if the law was involved the guy would more likely go to jail because he knew better. The legal consent age for most states is "16".

Answer 15

According to the law its the guys fault.

Answer 16

Legally the man will be charged with statutory rape because she is underage. But technically, if she is willingly involved, it is her fault too. She`s old enough at that age to know better and to control herself. If she chooses not to control herself, that`s on her.

Answer 17

Legally it's their fault. Though it may have been consensual on her part, the older party (18+) is still held accountable for not using their best judgement in that type of situation.

Answer 18

Atheati,, i think you like to put things in neat little boxes of what is right and what is wronng, and then try to make every action that even resembles that intothe same box. i could argue your anwers both ways, for a politically correct answer, and both arguements would have truth in them. i'm sorry it bugs me, that you do this.



its hers, its his, who knows? likely it is both of their fault. maybe though he is a pred... 25 ?30? 40? and he gives her drugs, he tells her what she needs to hear.... he knows how to do this, and she lacks the ligfe experiance to pick up on it.

Or maybe he is like 19, and she is 15, and they are both ignorant, in which case they are both the pred, they are both the consumer, abuser, leech, they are both in sin....

maybe they are both maried? maybe he has a mental disorder and she is desperate for someone to be with, so a 15 year old seduces a 24 mentally retarded man........

i see what you are saying, you just cant put things into neat little boxes, and actually get us to respect your opioion.

Answer 19

If she chooses, then you have the answer. If she is not forced which is rape, but chooses freely, it is her fault that she gave into temptation. The guys are just as guilty as sex before marriage is harmful to one's spirit, especially a females.

Answer 20

Her parents for allowing her to date someone so much older than her. But lawfully it would be his fault, even if she did give consent. It also depends where they live in each state.

Answer 21

Adult men are old enough to know better. They can keep their pants zipped...they just choose not to...



And I have a question...where are the fathers of these 15-year-old girls? Why are these young girls seeking out harmful relationships with older men?

Answer 22

Both are at fault. Then bring the parents of the minor in the equation. They should be held accountable for not keeping a closer eye on their child and teaching them about abstinence.

Answer 23

it is the guy's fault, unless the 15 yr old lied about her age and said she was 18

Answer 24

both and then there is the statutory rape charge that goes to the older guy . name the fault after both of them.the younger the greater the offense .

Answer 25

It's both. They both had consensual sex with each other. It does take to to have sexual intercourse. You can't blame it on the guy because he is older, the 15 year old knew what she was doing as well.

Answer 26

If she gets pregnant, the baby will end up

paying. Legally the male is responsible, but the fault is on both of them.

Answer 27

By law theirs. Remember 15 will get you 20. There are statutory rape laws.

Answer 28

Its both their fault. The 15 year old for being irresponsible and inmature, and the 18+ year olds for not being, once again, responsible and smart enough to just say "no".

Answer 29

Legally, it's the guy's fault. It's called statutory rape. I have known chicks like that though. They're ho's. Stay away from them if you know what's good for you.

Answer 30

both, as long as she wasn't forced, she freely choose to have sex, it's her fault to have sex at a young age and it's the guys' fault to have sex with a minor.

Answer 31

If both consent to it, then they are both at fault, but according to the law the adults are at fault.

Answer 32

By law, it is the guy's fault, but I find that law to be one of the stupidest ones that we have.

Answer 33

The guys should be able to recognize that she is very young if they cannot they have no bussiness going out with anyone untill they grow up.

Answer 34

Legally it's their fault since they're adults and culpable for their decisions, but it doesn't maker her any less of an idiot.

Answer 35

Both

Answer 36

Lawfully (depending on the state) its guys fault.



But if she gives consent... its on her conscience as well.



(Yes, I realize a minor can't give legal consent.)

Answer 37

Theirs! They should not be taking advantage of underage people.

Answer 38

It varies from state to state.

Answer 39

Theirs.

There is an age of consent for a reason.

Answer 40

God and the law will always hold the man (assuption that the man is older) accountable.

Answer 41

Both!

Answer 42

Both.

Answer 43

Answer 44

Answer 45

Answer 46
