Question: Is it illegal for a boy 16yrs old to have a 12yr ols girlfriend, in Az., if the parent is completely against it?

Answer:

It isn't illegal to have a girlfriend who is younger than you. If her parents don't want you to be boyfriend and girlfriend then they can keep you from seeing her.

no you cant have sex. It is a felony with jail time for you if u get caught. In texas 13 and under is child. Statatory rape or aggrivated sexual assualt is what you would get....i think

If you are 13, you shouldn't be having sex in the first place. Proof: You didn't know the guy well enough to even know how old he is...rendering you incapable of understanding the consequences of such acts. But, if you're going to do it, be safe about it. Start by learning more about your partner.
