Am I obligated to report consensual sexual contact between teenagers?
Age and status requirements to determine when to report consensual sexual conduct between teenagers.
Reportable offenses involve the touching of the vagina, penis, anus, or female breast. However, NO report must be made if the touching is consensual and:
- both parties are 14, 15, 16, or 17
- one party is an 18 year-old adult and no more than 24 months older than the minor involved
- one party is a 19 year-old adult and in high school and no more than 24 months older than the minor involved
Two questions to think about:
Should I report the following types of verbal comments by minors to other minors: body comments, sexual conversations, profane statements, sexual propositions?Should I report the following type of physical conduct between minors: grabbing, pinching, or patting buttocks; goosing; wedgies; nipple twisting boy to boy?
