thirty + years ago when i was 15/16 i played around with a girl i knew there was sexual touching not pententration of any kind and not forced into, she was 13 at the time, now all these years later i worry that i could be arrested for these events.
HiThank you for your question and welcome to Just Answer. I will try to help with this.What exactly would you like to know about this?
what issues can arrise from this can i be prosecuted for something that happened thirty years ago
You could but that won't happen here.Unlawful sex is committed where there is ostensible consent that is not full consent because of a person's age. It is either way and so not subject to time barring issues.However, if you were roughly the same age and the activity was consensual then there has long since been a policy decision not to prosecute. There has been departure in recent years basically because we have become paranoid about this type of offending and, in fairness, 13 year olds are quite young and the age gap was more significant than in many cases in terms of emotional maturity. Given that this is so old and amounts to really only touching between two minors its very unlikely that anybody would think that in the public interest.Also, they would have to receive a complaint from the girl in question which is not likely now.Hope this helps.
