if a private 36 year old music teacher(who is not a member of any teaching agency but just teaches kids in his house) slept with a 16 year old (like just once) is this illegal? What could happen to him, i mean could he be prosecuted if he hasn’t even had to be police checked for his teaching. Its not like he’s a teacher in a school? but what are the charges, if any that could be brought in the UK? i really dont want this guy to get in trouble.....
It all depends on the law if the law states that you can legally have sex at the age of 16 it should be fine, if the student thinks its not fine and goes to police or worse there parents then you'll see problems. Im not a lawyer so don't take my word for it.
Damn If the kid goes to police he will be in a big trouble. Jail + $$ I'm not sure how much and how many years in UK but wherever he is it's considered as "Pedophilia"
However, with the big age difference, the music teacher could be accused of taking advantage or something like that.
No, not in the UK. There is no age span to the age of consent (meaning the at 16 consent only applies if the other party is within 3 years of age). Society might frown upon it, but there is no law against it. As a doctor, or a state authorised teacher, there may be some penalties for taking advantage of an authority situation. In this case, this is not a certified teacher so that wouldn't apply.
Yes, in many places. But the OP is specifically talking about the UK where 16 is the legal age of consent.
Was the person a boy or a girl? If it was a boy you probably wont get in as much trouble if anything happens, are you a boy or a girl? Trust me it makes a lot of difference. In the uk an under 16 boy sleeping with an over 16 girl is legal/almost legal but the other way round the boy can actually be put on the sex offenders register.
Woops sorry I misread it, if the other party is over 16 and the sex was lawful and not rape then it is fine. However if the OP was over 16 and male, and the party was female he could get in serious shit. But, since both of you are over 16 then it is 100% legal aslong as there was consent etc.
Well as long as both of you are over 16 and it wasn't rape etc. it is fine, except he might be looked at in society as a paedophile, there is nothing illegal.
Hopefully things will work out for him. What could be potentially worse then Jail or Fines is to be placed on a Sexual Offender Registry for the rest of his life.
