A 14-year-old Houston teenager may be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life after he was charged with having sex with his 12-year-old girlfriend.

The seventh grader, whose name has not been revealed, has been charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child. His girlfriend is in the sixth grade, the Houston Chronicle said.

“He had consensual sex with his little girlfriend and he loved her. They were boyfriend-girlfriend,” the teen’s mother said.

Texas law has the “Romeo and Juliet” exception, which means that having sex with a juvenile under the age of consent is not illegal, if you’re less than three years older than the person who is under the age of consent.

But that law only applies if both sexual partners are at least 14. If you’re 13 or younger, the Romeo and Juliet exception isn’t valid.

“The idea that a 14-year-old who has sex with a person just a little bit younger than him or her would be treated as the worst of the worst in our society and placed on the sex offender registry is really sick,” said the teenager’s attorney, Joseph Gutheinz. “If he has sex with someone who is younger by just days but is still 13 years old, he could be charged with one of the most serious offenses we have. It just blows my mind.”

The arrest occurred in May but Gutheinz confirmed to In Justice Today that the case was still pending. He expressed frustration that the case had not been resolved.

“This is a good kid,” Gutheinz said. “He shouldn’t have to go through this.”

Gutheinz told In Justice Today that children in this situation have no idea they’re committing a crime until after the fact.

“These kids don’t understand the law,” he said. “They’re only really worried about mom and dad finding out.”

Gutheinz said he was seeking to resolve the case in a way that ensured that the teenager would not have to be a registered sex offender.

The office of Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has not commented on the case.

Jackie Stewart Gravois, an attorney with the Harris County Public Defender’s Office, told the Houston Chronicle that judges don’t usually make juveniles register as sex offenders in cases like this. Judges have the final say in whether someone will be a registered sex offenders.

“Very rarely do the juvenile judges in Harris County force anyone to register,” she said. “They usually delay it and send them to sex offender treatment and then make a decision.”

But Ira Ellman, a professor at the UC–Berkeley School of Law, told In Justice Today it’s not unusual to see 14-year-olds charged as sex offenders and facing life on the sex offender registry.

Some reports, including one from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, have found that the age with the highest number of people arrested for a sex offense is 14, Ellman said.

The Marshall Project recently reported that more than 800,000 people were on sex offender registry lists nationwide.

“And contrary to popular belief, violent serial pedophiles do not fill the ranks of the registered,” wrote David Feige, who did the report. “Rather, a wide swath of sexual thoughts and actions can lead to the lifetime of stigmatization that being on the sex offender registry entails.”

To be honest? Yea. It is. Amazing how these real “TEEN” issue’s never make it to print in their publications. Strange how little info we get in the Information age.

Back in “the day,” many of us walked behind a pine tree, or around the corner to have a petting session with the opposite sex at such an age.
You mean to tell me what was considered a “right of passage” for a young man or woman is now so taboo, it merits life in jail???
I’m beyond words…..
This world is going to S~~~!

Marry again, Hell NO ! ( Even JESUS was hung on a cross just once)

[Knarley BobParticipant 2219]

Looks to me both are under age, no call.
Must suck looking at child support with paper route money….

If it was the same situation only with the ages reversed and the boy was under 14, do you really think anyone would be charging the 14 year old girl to become a sex offender? Hell no.

This stupid f~~~ing gynocentric “women good men bad” c~~~ry.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

I don’t give a f~~~ anymore, really. Although I’m mildly amused when some scumbag gets taken out. Too bad more scumbags in the legal professions don’t get taken out more often.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

Would they be saying the same thing if she was 14 and he was 12?

Because when you’ve got 33-year-old teachers raping their 14-year-old students, there’s not a sex offender tag in sight.

They just punish any male within reach. He’s got a penis, he’s guilty, might as well bag him and tag him now to save future females from having to weed him out of her dating address book.

This exact kind of thing happened (also in Houston) to my elementary school best friend when he was 10 because he showed another girl close to his age his privates. Yeah, it’s gross, but when I think back on it, was it really worth putting him on the SEX OFFENDERS registry for the rest of his life?

I remember when my mother found out and told me, too. She went on about how disgusting my friend was and it was a shame it was happening.

I heard from him again maybe about 13 years later when he got in touch with me on Facebook. Though people still call him an offender, he told me he was learning how to play music, wanted to start a Christian band, was getting his life together, all that jazz. He also lost both of his parents and got in a car wreck that crippled him from the waist down, but he’s been living decently regardless. I was just glad to know the guy was alive, though it’s a shame his entire life is going to now be spent in an assisted living facility where he’s branded as a “sex offender” for life.

I think what happened to him (and this kid in this case) is simply a harsh grounding and punishment by his parents, not a SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY. The government getting involved in punishing kids for things like this that happen far more often than they want to admit is a bit ridiculous. Sure, throw the kid in jail if he kills someone (I am on the opposite end there, where I have no compassion for murderous children). But jail time AND sex offender registry while you’re still a VERY young minor will harm someone more than do good, I think.

Then again, this is the same system that hardly punishes female teachers for sleeping with their underage students, forces the children that have children with these adult women to pay child support, and continues to punish boys for having girlfriends their own age.

How in the world can a person be labeled as ‘unable to give consent’ and be a sex offender at the same time? It is completely illogical.

Seriously, in order to rape or sexually assault someone, intent is required. Intent requires consent. If you cannot consent, you are not able to rape or sexually assault a person. I don’t have a problem with laws put in place to prevent/deter minors from having sex (at least not at first glance), but the punishment needs to crime, and laws need to logically fit with one another.

Really, the whole age based consent laws need to be reconsidered. Clearly, a minor is capable of sexually assaulting an adult. You cannot blanket state that a minor is incapable of giving consent. That’s not to say that an adult with a rape fantasy can enlist a minor to rape her to get her off either. I don’t want to leave it up to a subjective judgement call, but I don’t know that you can make a fair objective standard either.

Ok. Then do it.

What kills me about moronic statutory rape laws is how often the judge sentencing a teenager for screwing someone within a few years of their age probably has a bigger age gap with their spouse. Its too bad statutory rape laws don’t come with a common sense clause and a judge can’t just toss a case like this.

[Puffin StuffParticipant 24979]

A young man with a weapon could easily overpower and forcibly have sex with an adult female. A boy accused should be tried as a minor because of his limited ability to understand the consequences of his actions.
