'He's 27. She's 16. Legally, he hadn't done anything wrong. '
The Buford father wanted the coach, Patrick Ahern of Dacula, charged with rape in the Sept. 27 incident, but police determined that the teenager had not been raped and even if sex had occurred she was 16, the age of consent in Georgia.

Gwinnett County law on the age of 16
[QUOTE=Son Of Anarchy;1587823]The man fought the law and the law lost![/QUOTE]I remember seeing something one time that said that if anybody had sex with a minor who was 16 years old or younger in Gwinnett County that it was statuatory rape. It was a Gwinnett County law, not a state law though. Buford is in Gwinnett County, and I wonder if this law is still in effect. Probably wouldn't do much good to prosecute though as the state law's age of consent is 16 and probably would override the county law.
Gwinnett County law on age of consent

Georgia's state law of age of consent is 16, but in Gwinnett County having sex with somebody who is 16 years old and younger is statuatory rape. There are city and county laws that differ from the state's laws. A city like Snellville has its own law that nobody is allowed to serve alcohol anywhere in a restaurant at least on a Sunday. Buford is part of Gwinnett County, so therefore this guy technically did commit statuatory rape, unless they abolished that law in Gwinnett County. Then again it could end up being a deadlocked case of county law vs. State law if this guy was to be prosecuted.

Late Notice. But worth a shot.
