What is the name of your state? Mass

OK here we go. I'm 29 years old. My Ex-Girlfriend and I were having horrible times in our relationship, things were falling apart after 1 year. She is heavily in to drugs etc. but that's another story. Last night I went over to her sister’s house, she's like 30 or so. She was there with her half sister. I was introduced to Jessica. During our conversations over the next hour or 2 Jessica mentioned she was 18. After hanging out a little longer my ex's sister and Jessica started making out, and after they kissed and took off their clothes etc. they turned their attention to me. I was a little hesitant at first but got into the action we all had sex and cuddled afterwards. Now here's where my trouble begins after I left in the AM, my Ex showed up and I'm not exactly sure what happened but she found out most of what happened. I'm not sure she knows to whole story but she got most of it. Needless to say she was not happy. It turns out that Jessica isn't really Jessica, her name was Jenna. I'm not sure why they both told me otherwise but they did, also Jenna turns out to only be 16 years old. SH*T, to say the least. Now my Ex has been calling me a rapist and that she is going to report me to the police, I'm going to jail and she is personally going to "FU*K my life up!". Now I have been freaking out and I'm not really sure what I should do, I did about 1 hours research online about the laws in MA and purely being lied to isn't a good enough defense, but what I have noticed is that the legal age for consent is 16 years old.

Taken from Mass law page online

Under MA law, a child under the age of 16 is incapable of consenting to sexual intercourse (unless married to his or her partner). Sexual intercourse of any kind (vaginal, anal, or oral) with a child under 16 years is a strict liability crime. A reasonable mistake as the age of the victim is not a defense. (MGL Chapter 265, §23)

Now it mentions under the age of 16 not 16 and under. Although I am not happy for what I have done and regret it fully, my question is this..... AM I GOING TO JAIL? Or is the fact that she is 16 she is a consenting adult?

Please help me. Thank you very much

Please help me.

Though I certainly don't condone your actions (or intelligence), if she is in fact 16 years old, then she would be of sufficient age for consent. However, that doesn't mean you are 'free', as there may be other laws that could apply. And though probably NOT applicable (from your post, she was hardly 'chaste'), an example is:
Chapter 272: Section 4 Inducing person under eighteen to have sexual intercourse
Whoever induces any person under 18 years of age of chaste life to have unlawful sexual intercourse shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than three years or in a jail or house of correction for not more than two and one-half years or by a fine of not more than $1,000 or by both such fine and imprisonment.

OK here is the latest update. I checked my voicemail which I hadn't checked all day because I have left my phone over my ex's sister's house. I had several messages I will give the highlights of the most important 2

1) it was a message with my ex yelling at jessica. She was yelling and jessica was crying, I'm assuming things got physical. my ex yelled, tell him your real fu*king name and she said Jenna (not Jessica that she told me) my ex then yelled no tell him you real fu*king age and she said 16, my ex then yelled now you tell him your name, and age and say that you F'ed my boyfriend, and Jenna was crying and she said that. It is not a very nice message. I have saved it and will make a tape of it incase court issues.

2) the other message says something like this. my ex says, I just left my sisters and the mother of the 16 year you f'ed is pressing charges, the father is going to press charges. Your f'd, your whole life is f'in ruined, I'm going to go tell everyone that you fu*k 16 year olds. Your going to jail for life. she then goes on to say that what ever I want to do I should do quick because she is going to have me killed and that I am going to die and she will make sure of it. I have also saved this message and will make a tape of it as well.

oh yea and then there was a 3rd message about 4 hrs after those saying that she wants to talk about what happened and thinks that I atleast owe it to her to get together and talk about this.

What should I be doing now?

Thanks

The times that people have threatened me with murder, I stay away from them.

there are places for that

Next time you get the urge to merge with more than one partner, try searching for playmates under swinger sites such as swappenet.

How dumb are you? She is your ex, right? You don't owe her a thing. According to your story, it was your ex's sister and Jenna that started the party with each other and then invited you. Did your ex mention that part of the party?

Do not call your ex back. Your attempts to explain what happened may just get you into more trouble.

Thanks for the input. I also think that talking to her would only make things worse. Well on a brighter side, this is probably the only thing I've ever done that could get me on Jerry Springer. LOL. Well sometimes you make the wrong decison in life, this was one of those times. I think I have already learned from it at won't ever make this mistake again. If I do happen to face legal action which I don't think will happen after doing all this research, I'll keep this updates. I will continue to check this every day though for a while, so keep the advise and comments coming.

Thanks

What does that mean? She's just going to drop it and get on with her life, or is she talking reconciliation?
