    Why are you asking?

    You'll find the answers to that question in posts 37 and 47. If it wasn't for the incidents I mentioned in those posts I wouldn't be any the wiser about that couple.

    Went to school with a fella who in his early twenties got into a relationship with a 14 year old. Her father caught them going at it one day and rightly called the guards.

    At the trial she gave evidence while heavily pregnant with another guy's kid. He got a year or 2 in jail.

    Just called the Guards? Not too many fathers would have left anything for the Guards in that instance.

    The following scenario is the basis for this OP:

    A 15-year-old girl becomes pregnant by a man in his early 20s with whom she has a relationship. The child dies shortly after birth. Then the couple conceive another child before she is 17 years old - the age of consent in the Republic.

    Before the legislation on mandatory reporting of allegations of child abuse was introduced, was there a legal or ethical on obligation on doctors, nurses and civil registrars to report the offence known in law as defilement of a child under the age of 17 years in cases like the above scenario?


    You're asking for a "friend" I take it?

    Surely the title should be 'when a man has a relationship with an under age child'


    As opposed to an over age child?

    They're definitely not my friends. As I've already said, I reported the girl's boyfriend to the gardaí for threatening behaviour.

    Technically, 17-year-olds are children.
