Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Illinois
Older man lies to 18 y.o. girl about age
I met an older man who said he was 27. I am 18. We started dating, and engaging in sexual activity. I later found out that he is 36.
Is there ANY charges I can press? I now feel he is a sick man who should probably be considered a sex offender.

Re: Older man lies to 18 y.o. girl about age
Hello. The issue is whether the older man
broke any laws to you when he lied about his
age, but where you consented to sexual relations.
You may be able to file a lawsuit against him on
some theory of fraud, but this may be an uphill
battle. On the other hand, if you consented to
sexual relations with him because he was no older
than 27 and you have proof of this in the form of
witnesses who will testify on your behalf, you
just might have a case. I will be happy to
answer any additional questions that you might
have. P.s. If you are still seeing him, it
will definitely hurt your case.
