I know if you say no and then a guy forces himself on you its rape. Well what if someone is 13 and the guy pressures her into saying saying yes after she says no and then she does it? and this guy was 16 at the time.
It sounds like the guy was abusing a position of power, which well does constitute rape. I have highlighted a bit of text I found online here:
"Consent cannot be given: when the perpetrator is abusing a position of trust, power or authority or when the victim expresses, by words or conduct a lack of agreement to engage in the activity"
anyone below the age of sixteen having sex with someone sixteen or over is legally classed as rape
especially if they have to be talked into it after saying no
Around here, as for below 16 I know that as long as they are the same age and there is equal consent on both parties. However, yeah, it is rape if you are talked or pressured into it having said no or not.
Thats still rape hun. You did say no and he shjouldn't have forced you to say yes hun.He had no right to make you do anythign you didn't want to and since u say you said no first of all then that means no n he shouldnt have forced you to say yes.Besides that being sixteen he should know better than to make you do rthings your not ready for. *Hugs*
But yes it did happen to me.. I'm just wondering why do I know this now? Not then?? My counselors said nothing about this... But I'm not going to let this get to me...
k. well sometimes counsellors are not the best option.sometimes the peopel you really need are your friends and family talking to a counsellor doesnt help its better to have your friends to support u. a counsellor probs wouldnt mention it maybe because they werent sure themselves because rape and all its attributions and aspects is a complicated subject to understand so maybe they didnt understand.
Yes, that does constitute as rape. I'm sorry that this happened to you. If you ever need to talk...I'm here. I too, have survived rape. I understand what it's like. Talk to your counselors about it, tell them you believe this thing happened to you. You're too young, even if you said yes willingly, it's statutory rape...and if you said no to begin with...it's rape. I'm so so so sorry. Stay strong...
It's statutory rape.
If the girl is under 16 (or the legal age since 16 is the legal age in the UK) then it's classed as rape whether it was consentual or not.
in the US I believe that if they are both under 16 then its if there is a 2 year difference the older person has committed statiatory (sp?) rape...I hope that makes more sense and I am pretty sure that's what the law is......

generally if both parties are under 16 it falls to the girl's parents about whether they want to press charges for statutory rape and the boy gets blamed. however this lad was 16 so this does not apply (unless age of consent is 17 or over making you both underage).
i would say it was at least statutory rape if not coercion. maybe arm yourself with some info (look on the net, but be careful of triggers) and ask your counsellor some questions, where you could get more specialised help etc.
