The dad wants to press charges against my friend. She was completely okay with the relationship. And gave her consent. But she lied about being 15 and said she was 18. He didn’t know until the dad reaches out and said she was only 15 and is demanding to be paid $4200 for the damages the little girl caused while throwing a tantrum. If my friend doesn’t pay up the dad is pressing charges.
Tell your "friend" that he should break off all communication with his 15 year old girl friend before someone files a criminal charge against him. Claiming that the child "lied about her age" is not a defense against the crime of statutory rape in Florida. Tell your "friend" to look up the severe penalty for what he is doing.
Independent Contractor final wages
The company I worked (with a written contract) has not paid my final wages. My timesheet was submitted 02/28/08 and I received an e-mail that due to cash flow problems they would not require my services for the month of March and would contact me when they would need me again. I told them they was nothing in the contract (terms were month to month and that the agreement would be terminated by either party with 30 days notice). I requested they pay me immediately. They never responded. I filed a small claims action because DOL said I could not file with them because of my independent contractor status. There is an arbitration clause in the contract, but it specifically states that any dispute which cannot be resolved in good faith must go to arbitration. My stance is they breached the contract and the contract should not stand. They have done nothing to contact me other than filing an answer which is actually a request to stay proceedings. Can a contract stand when consideration (fees) have been denied? Please note that I posted a question earlier that was more convoluted.
