In Georgia, unless the girl is under 16, she can consent to sex. If she is 13 or above, it would simply be a misdemeanor for the 17 year old to have sex with her.
The article was not clear, but if the kids were having sex, their activity while against the rules of her dad, were legal in the eyes of the state.
What we don’t know is if the dad had implicitly prohibited the victim from entering the house. However, you cannot not go shooting everyone that your kid invites into the house and claim your kid’s friend is an intruder.
Had the daughter invited a friend over to make cupcakes in the kitchen, the dad could not shoot the friend and claim he was an intruder.
Like I said before, I don’t think the guy gets convicted but he may be bankrupted by the DA and a civil suit.
“However, you cannot not go shooting everyone that your kid invites into the house and claim your kid’s friend is an intruder.”
The guy was hiding in a wardrobe in another room. The daughter was not in the room. The Father called out a warning that he was armed and yelled for anyone in the house to come out.
The guy tried to run (which most likely meant toward the Father who had just entered the room door)........
Somehow, that always seems to be the case when one of these discussion erupts.

That prohibition is implicit in the fact that he was the homeowner.

Absolutely. But if you don't know that the kid invited the person into your house, you have no other option than to conclude that the person is an intruder. At that point, with no input from the kid (who, in the worst case, might at that point be unconscious, dying, or dead), you do what you have to do to resolve the situation.

I'm afraid you're right.
