Girl, 16, accused of statutory rape of boy, 14

39. 16 is the age of consent, I suspect.

and the being 14 boy hadn't obtained the age of consent.

When my son was 15, he had a friend. Katy was her name and she was 17. Katy was not abused. I would have to say that Katy was neglected and was looking for love in all the wrong places.

One afternoon, Katy came by after school. I wasn't feeling well and probably shouldn't have let him have friends over that day because I went and laid down. When I got up Katy and my son were upstairs and I called them down- they didn't come down those stairs fast enough for my comfort, so I went up and what do I see when I enter my son's room? My son, sitting on the side of the bed in his underpants, hiding his face and Katy covering herself giggling (probably from embarrassment). I decided it was time for Katy to leave and decided to drive her home. All during the ride, I lectured them both on the responsibilities that being sexually active brings with it. I got plenty of giggles, eyerolls and "oh moms". I didn't over react, I didn't scream and yell and I thought I let them both with the understand that sex was something they weren't ready for and it wasn't to happen again.

What I didn't know was that Katy had an "official boyfriend" and when he found out that she had had sex with my son (who was a virgin til then), she told the bf that my son had raped her. Katy's boyfriend went to the principals office (the principal happens to be friends with Katy's father). I then got a call from the principal saying my son was accused of raping Katy and that my son was going to be charged. At that point, I was very angry with the principal and I said to him. "I understand that Katy is 17. My son is 15, Yes, let's have us a conversation about who was raped." And at that point, the principal suddenly had to end the conversation. But there was never any rape, it was totally consensual.

When the detective came to my home, he said to me, "Mrs B. We know that kids do this sort of thing all the time, if you tell me that it has been resolved, then I'm outta here. All I said to him at that point was "it has been resolved."

That was the end of the entire situation.
