Can the father of your baby go to jail if he is 15 and you are 12?

Yes, there's no "get out of jail free" card for being a father. It would be unusual for a 15-year-old to be sent to jail for longer than a few hours/days (temporary custody at a police station), but it's not impossible. A 15-year-old would be more likely to be sent to Juvenile Hall. If you're asking "is it illegal for a 15 year old to have sex with a 12 year old", then it depends on where you live. In some places it is and in other places it isn't.
