Legal Implications Of Misrepresentation

Summary

Returning a 17-year-old to her legal guardian in Ohio or Indiana, where the age of consent is 16, may mitigate abandonment claims. Misrepresentation, such as pretending to be her uncle, could lead to legal complications. Documenting evidence of abuse and consent from her mother is crucial. If legal actions are pursued, consulting a local attorney is advisable.

my ex who was * (ohio and indiana her origin state being both age of consent=*) is threatening "abandonment, kidnapping etc" after dropping her off at her moms and breaking up with her after she had been living with me. Her mom had consented to me taking her to ohio. and idk about abandonment since i was taking her back to her legal guardian. i did pretend to be her uncle initially which is something she kind of blackmailed me into doing saying id get into more trouble if i didint. what could i be facing if anything at all? i left her cause she was physically and emotionally abusive. im 29yrs old
This is quite a complex situation. Here are a few points to consider:
- Since she is *, and both Ohio and Indiana have an age of consent of *, you may not face statutory rape charges.
- You returned her to her legal guardian, which could mitigate abandonment claims.
- Pretending to be her uncle might complicate things, as it involves misrepresentation.
Would you like me to connect you with local lawyers who can better assist you with your case?
no just give further advice
Sure, ****. Here are a few additional points to consider:
- Abandonment: Since you returned her to her legal guardian, it's unlikely you'll face abandonment charges.
- Kidnapping: Since her mother consented to her being with you, kidnapping charges are also unlikely.
- Misrepresentation: Pretending to be her uncle might lead to legal complications.
It's best to document any evidence of her abuse and the consent from her mother. This may help you if legal actions are taken against you. If the situation escalates, consulting a local attorney would be advisable.
