Question: What is the punishment for Sex with a minor?

Answer:

Sexual conduct with a minor who is under fifteen years of age is a class 2 felony and a class 6 felony with a minor who is over fifteen years of age. (ARS § 13-1405)

 

The punishment for sexual conduct with a minor varies depending on who the offender is and what kinds of prior convictions they may have.

My girlfriend is 46 and we are sexually active. She is a registered nurse and we have a serious relationship. My dad knows that we have been talking since i was 17 and now i am almost 18. After I am 18, can he hold this over our heads and get her in any kind of trouble without my consent?
