Just so happens that I asked an acquaintance to join me for breakfast before going surfing. Said acquaintance is under 17, i'm 24. Parent came to my house and was upset that her daughter was here. any Repercussions?
State/Country relating to Question: North Carolina
I assume there was no sexual intercourse. If that is the case, you have done nothing illegal as you can keep such company.
Correct, there was no sexual intercourse. I am obviously worried because perception is always reality... It was incredibly awkward when her mom knocked on the door and asked me what was up. Really, we're just surfing friends, thought a hearty breakfast would be good before going out today... I severed all ties, including removing her from my phone, deleting all text messages, facebook, etc. I'm nervous that dear old dad is going to call the base and find out where i work - this, obviously can just lead to nothing but bad things on my end. Have i taken all appropriate steps?
I do not see a problem here but severing ties as you have done is a proper precaution.
Talking about the rules of evidence, if they were to try to make an accusation of inappropriate contact, would it stick if the only evidence presented is here-say, meaning that only one party (being the girl in question) makes a statement one way or another?
Assuming it goes that far, the mere hear say claim would not be enough absent witness or physical evidence. Avoid all contact and it should be fine
