Question:

What happens if you press charges?

What will happen if you press charges against your ex boyfriend if you are only 17 and he is 20 he started asking for nude pictures when you were 16?What would happen to his daughter as well?

Answer:

His daughter will be adopted by a nice couple, maybe. Why guys should never date young girls, they can turn on you.
Court. His word against yours. Probably nothing other than hard feelings between the two of you. In this order. Statutory Rape is easier, since you only have to prove you had sex. Pictures, well, not much. Rape, not much. The amount of proof is the issue. Unless you have emails or letters, or video tape, from then to know, you don't have much. Even then, proving they are true and not forged is another headache. Now, you usually just press charges and the state takes over, unless it is a civil suit/issue. All this is saying is that you agree to stand up in court and attest he did this or that. If there is enough evidence, the state can use you as a witness, meaning that they know a crime was committed even if you do not or cannot testify. In this case, unless you are caught sending them (child pornography), the odds are you are the case. When an officer asks if you will press charges, it's like saying will you see this through since we didn't see it. If, by some chance, you can prove it and the court agrees, then his daughter may end up with her mother or in foster care until he is released, and then maybe not even then. Some states/areas may not allow such an offender to have custody of his child after this.
