Any charges being brought on the boyfriend? He’s 19, she’s 17. They “fell asleep” on the bed. She was adjusting her clothes when the father came in the room. That’s almost enough cause for the father to plead insanity. Shoot, not saying the father was right, but I’d be ticked too.

According to a legal website, age of consent in Arkansas is 14, affirmative defense is that the age difference is no more than 3 years. (Do NOT rely on the foregoing as legal advice, I could be wrong. That, and anyone trolling even near these limits is scum.)

Any halfway comepetant attorney here in TX and the right jury would equal a walk for the Dad.

The good thing is, most of the young men with half a brain in this state know that.

The age of consent is 17 in Arkansas, so no possible charges apply given the consensual nature of it.

The age of consent in Arkansas is 16 years. What charges could be brought?

The age of consent in Arkansas is 16. There's not a damn thing anyone can do to him or her - save for kicking her out of the house.
