I have carefuly removed a post in consultation with all posters except the originator. I have emailed him and explained why.
I know it was a plea for help but it contained too much information

The main theme was that of damage limitation for you.- do not petser by phone or email
- do not attempt to visit
- await contact from him
- do not get further into the mess you are in by being a proactive fool here - you are legally adult, he is legally minor
I took legal advice on your behalf today.
If a sexual act takes place with or without penetration the maximum sentence the adult may receive is 15 years.
If the adult groomed the minor for a sexual act, whether that act took place or not, max sentence is 10 years.
Oddly the younger person may also be committing an offence in this too if they were the sexual aggressor
Lawyer's view is that a prosecution is unlikely to be in the public interest in view of depression and posisble suicidal tendencies, but that the police take an unhealthy view of sexual offences (salacious) esp with a man and a boy.
Emails are likely to be sufficient evidence to use as a prosecution.
Probability of prosecution is 50% and of conviction is 80%. Juries love sex cases. On conviction tyou end uop on the Sexual Offenders Register. Thsi means you are pretty much unemployable
It is wise, therefore, to remain off the scene as a proactive participant in this tryst. Do nothing to offend his parents. Do nothing to create more mess. If oyu love him be prepared to do this for HIM, for it will break HIS heart if you are prosecuted. Opinion is he does not even have to give evidence. Emails etc are enough. Let's just hope his parents love him enough to understand.
If they do report you will hear very fast. As time passes you do not become "more safe", but you do begin to be able to assume that they are not in a reporting mood.
