Alberta dating laws - need serious help!
|
I was wondering if it illegal with the new consent laws in such in Alberta for a guy that just turned 18 two days ago to continue to date a 14 year old. If someone could direct me to a site that explains something or like where you could ask an expert that'd be great

You don't need a site! But you might need a lawyer! You could be in major trouble if your relationship with this girl is anything but platonic! Wait two years and try again!
