Question: im 15. boyfriend is 22. can he get charged with sexual misconduct if we havent had sex or done anything sexual. my mother is charging him with sexual assault. what can i do?

Answer: Tell the truth in court - review the consequences of perjury by looking at lawforkids.org Question #331

If he is innocent, he and/or his attorney will need to show that.

It is against the law for a 22 year old to have sex with 15 year old minor - see Question #404

I do not think that he should go to jail if the two of you did not have sex. but, I think as a MAN the two of you do not have any common interest. No matter want he said. he may have a car, job money but really what can he do with you. A MAN at that age is looking for much more than a girlfriend who can not have sex,smoke, drink, clubs, stay out late, spending the night out, Are u having oral sex? be honest now. THAT IS A LEGAL REASON TO SEND HIM TO JAIL. As a MAN he should be looking at women 18 or older. just someone that cares.
