Re: jail time or not

If they are below the age of consent, or the relationship is illegal, it is up to the State to press charges, not the Guardian, so, yes, jail time is a possibility, but there are a lot of facts that would have to be known before any real advice could be given. But, the Guardian cannot consent for a minor to enter into a relationship the State considers illegal.
