We only held hands like 7 times

Do you have some advice for this person?

Visitor's Question:
I have a question about the topic "Under 18 / Minor Dating an Adult". In your text, it states "If an adult now touches them at ALL in a sexual manner including kissing, they are sexually harassing that minor." I am 18 and my girlfriend is 14. all we did that was considered "contact" was only holding hands and hugging. We only held hands like 7 times and rarely hugged throughout our 1 year together. Does that mean I am doing illegal?




Our Suggestion:
The advice on the webpage is describing the most strict interpretation.

Different states have different laws.

The only way to find out for sure is to consult a lawyer. I imagine you don't want to or can't approach a lawyer. You can also get advice by calling a sexual abuse hotline. 1-800-856-4673 is a national hotline for sex abuse.

Good luck! George
