Can you get in trouble for being pregnant at 15 When both of you are under 16?

Yes. statutory rape can involve underage participants who willingly engage in sexual relations. However, because those under the age of consent cannot give legal consent to sex, the act is a crime whether or not force is involved.
Some call these Romeo and Juliet laws since both are under the age of consent.
Not all states have adopted Romeo and Juliet laws, and such laws operate differently in many of the states which have adopted them.
In some states, they allow a defense against criminal charges for statutory rape. In other states, they shift the offense to a lower level, such as a misdemeanor. In some places, Romeo and Juliet laws reduce the level of punishment for the offense - imposing only probation or a fine, or eliminating the requirement to register as a sex offender, for example.
People like teachers and councilors must report these to the authorities.

∙ 8y agoIt will depend on the laws of the state or country involved. The age of consent is typically 16 years of age, but it is older in some states. Some states have what is called a Romeo and Juliet clause, which means if the two involved are within a certain age of each other (typically 2 or 3 years) that it won't be a crime. Other states have no tolerance for anything below the age of consent.

If both partners engage in sexual contact and one is a minor and the other is an adult and the female ends up being pregnant is the adult male going to get in trouble?
That will depend on the specific ages and the laws of that jurisdiction. Being a minor is different then being over the age of consent. There might not be anything illegal about it.
Can your fiance get in trouble if you get pregnant and you are both 15?
Technically, you would be both in trouble because you both had sex with a minor. However, since you both are/were 15 years old it is not in the public interest and also it is legally difficult to act upon such a situation as yours. So legal troubles are the least of your worries right now!
I am 17and pregnant my girlfriend 26 yearswho is in trouble?
You got her pregnant because you did not use proper protection so you are both responsible for the care and raising of the child should she decide to keep the unborn child.
Does being pregnant cause a slight burning when urinating?
I've had that problem too, but I don't think it's caused by being pregnant. It's more likely a urinary tract infection or a vaginal infection, both of which can be more common when you're pregnant (I've had both). You should see your doctor so you can get medicine if you need it.
Does a company has a right to dismiss a pregnant woman?
no. You cannot be fired for being pregnant under most circumstances. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) both prohibit U.S. employers from terminating employees due to pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions.
Can a 27 year old guy that has a 15 year old pregnant still get in trouble if they went to states but didnt get pregnant in the states and the age of consent is legal where they are?
If it was legal where you were I don't think you would get in trouble. There could be a small chance because it is illegal where you have a citizenship. If you have any other questions put another question on here. Im a US citizen and so is she. But doesnt the law of whatever country your in apply to situations like this? Im not really sure, which is why im asking. Ive been trying to research for the last 2 weeks, but came up with nothing. We both want to get married, but I know in the states, it wouldn't be possible, with the exception of being pregnant. And even then in the states, I wouldn't know if I would get in trouble for marrying her when she is pregnant, even though she didnt get pregnant in the states. Its very confusing.
Can i be pregnant even though I've taken 2 test both being negative?

What would happen if you got pregnant at 16 in Georgia by a 22 year old but then moved to Colorado while you were 16 and pregnant still would the guy get in trouble or not?
I have already answered this question. The sex is legal in both states so nothing will happen to him.
