oh , and she's not under my care!

Better check when she turns 18, that way she will be an adult and and there will be no problems.

Also might check that she is who she says she is as the police have undercover operations on targeting those grooming minors for sex.

As far as phone sex goes, there are many different offences that you could committ by way of interstate phone calls. Appart from sex and other physical offences, you could be convicted of acts of indecency or acts, procuring underage people for sexual purposes, indecently dealing with minors etc.

However, you are both above the age of consent in both your states so none of that would apply.

There are laws against harrassing or annoying telephone calls, so they might apply depending on the circumstances. Appart from those however, I cant think of any law that you would be breaking*.



* Appart from the law of human decency...seriously mate shes 17! Leave it alone!

This type of thing comes under the prostitution laws - the girl must be at least 18 years of age!!!

Techspec is right. In South Australia, there is a vert capable undercover operation in place most of the time, and many have been caught. You may also be consideed to be "Grooming" by some people, se be very wary, and as MartinO has suggested, I would, if I were you, wait unti the appropriate day has arrived, her eighteenth birthday.

So a 26yr old in nsw and a 17 yr old in sa having phone sex. What exactly is that law they would be breaking?shoeverine2009-10-06 15:10:37

Bottom line is, if it is a sting or her parents/ guardian find out about it, who do you reckon is gonna be the worse off??

Who initiated the idea of phone sex? As far as I can see this can only end in tears for all concerned, law or no law.

If you want phone sex I'm sure there are plenty of willing adult women on line, or do you prefer minors?

You are definitely playing with fire & if you cross the line deserve to get burnt .... IMO

acsol-Think of it like this,if she was your sweet 17yr old daughter would you want her having seedy phone sex with a 26yr old??
Whether or not it's legal i'm not sure,it's certainly not good moral behaviour.

Further more you're displaying a lack of maturity and common sense by posting such a question on a public forum.It should be obvious that most of the community would look down on such behaviour.

Grooming is offence I think. However, there are many ways a policeman can make an arrest just by the fact you are opening your mouth and letting words come out. Espicially in the area of sexual conduct. You surely must be aware at your age, there are many ways you can be considered to be acting unlawfully with this girl.

I dont want to sound like im defending this dummy, but are there?
What offences would he be committing? Grooming, as i understand it, applies only to underage people.

As far as I understand it, you are considered to be a minor if you are under the age of 18.

Also I believe it is an offense to procure or attempt to procure a minor for the purposes of sexual activity ( interesting to see how a person could explain to a magistrate that phone sex is not a sexual activity )

I also think the police can act solely on intent

Why do they call it "grooming"? Isn't "coveting" the correct English word?

I think to covet has more to do with property.

From the collins concise dictionary.... Groom...definition 7 is :-
To train or PREPARE for a particular task, occupation etc.

Grooming seems to be the word for enticing an under age person to engage in sexual activity. Shoeverine, you may be right, as at 17, certain laws no longer apply, but below the age of 17 they can apply. However, he treads on dangerous grounds, as these days, sexual offences can see charges laid many years after they have been committed. He says he has been talking to her "for a while", so she may have been under age back then, and it may now been seen that she was "groomed".

^^Good thinking.

The general consensus is that this activity with a minor is something that should not be pursued, the OP has not been back, and as this is a sleazy topic I'm going to lock the thread.
