(5,649 posts)"In Vermont, a person commits aggravated sexual assault if he is at least age 18 and has sexual intercourse with a person under age 10. This crime is punishable by up to life imprisonment.
Anyone, regardless of age, commits sexual assault in Vermont when he has sexual intercourse with a person, other than his spouse, under age 16. The penalty for this crime is up to 20 years imprisonment. "
The ONLY time that the age matters is when the victim is older than 16. If she is 16 and engages in intercourse with a man 21 years of age or older, it is statutory rape. Otherwise, it is not.
It appears that you need to do a little more research. Unless your daughter has married him, he is guilty of sexual assault.
