If the minor is below the age of consent in her state, yes, then it's statutory rape. It's also possible the court would raise the age of consent in this case to 18 because of the adults age.

Is it legal for a boy who is 19 to get a 15 year old pregnant with her parents consent in the state of Illinois?

No, it is not legal. The age of consent is 16. He has committed criminal sexual abuse. And the parents don't get to consent to breaking the law. It would be like they were pimping out their daughter! That could land them in all sorts of trouble.

If you're asking this question then clearly you don't know if it was consensual. If it was then you can't get into trouble, but if it wasn't (depending on laws in your area re. age of consent and sex with a minor) then obviously you could be charged with rape.

Maybe. Depends on the state where they live. In CA he would be in trouble because the age of consent is 18, but in other states the age of consent is 16 and there wouldn't be a problem.

In some states, this would qualify as statutory rape. In other states, this may not be a legal issue. Check your state's statutes for age of consent laws.

Can a 19 year old get in trouble for getting a 13 year old pregnant even if it is consetual?

You better believe it! It would be a felony and normally classified as statutory rape. A 13 year old is too young to consent to sexual contact of any type. And a 19 year old should know better.
