If you press charges 4 years after the fact, it is YOU who is the piece of shit.

fishy story. my response:

Agreed. It's a huge case of sour grapes combined with delusions of grandeur. The powers that be are already aware of the age issue as it was hashed out IN COURT when they did the paperwork for the custody arrangements.

My wife has finally built up the courage to press charges against him for statutory rape.

In all likelihood the cops will look at the case and decline to press charges, if not downright laugh her out of the police station. 4 years later and now she wants to get the police involved, for something she was fully complicit with? Yeah, no. She's the dirtbag here, not him. Besides, she doesn't press charges, the DA does that, all she can do is file a police report.

Plus if by some remote chance he does go to jail then it's going to punish the kid probably more than anyone. She made her choice at 15 and this is the consequences. Let this be a lesson to all the young girls out there who are hopping into bed with douchebags. My advice is to deal with the investigation best you can and do what you're supposed to do when it comes to custody and get a damn lawyer.

When you call child protective services on somebody (your ex, your relative, your friend, your coworker - whoever), then you can expect them to respond in the most extreme manner possible. You tried to hurt their family. The response engendered is not "sour grapes." Try "homicidal rage." I'm just glad the OP's partner is considering LEGAL methods of retaliation.
