In most states the male would be considered a legal adult the female in all states is still a minor. States establish laws pertaining to relationships between minors and adults, including the age of consensual sex. Whether or not the adult male could find himself in legal difficulties depends upon the laws of the state and what the young lady's parents choose to do about the situation. However, the age of consent may inihibe the minor/major law part if both of you are consentent and if your girlfriend is over the age of consent, which is commonly 16.
Yes, the 18-year-old is a legal adult, the 16-year-old is a minor. What action authorities could take depends upon the AOC in the state where the minor female lives. The minor's parents or guardian can file a complaint with authorities and possibly civil action as well.
Be advised, that all states have laws pertaining to relationships (sexual and otherwise) between adults and minors. Likewise, all states reserve the right to file charges and prosecute the adult involved in such a relationship without the cooperation of the minor or the minor's parents or legal guardian.
The minor involved in such a relationship would not be subject to any criminal or civil action.
In most cases, none. Statutory rape is when the younger person is under the age of conscious decision. In some staes, this is 13 and over, the individual can make conscious decisions. * It depends upon the AOC for the state in which the relationship has occurred. An 18-year-old is considered an adult a 16-year-old a minor but felony charges such as statutory rape are usually not applicable. In cases where charges are filed they are generally that of sexual misconduct or misdemeanor offenses. However, the adult should keep in mind that all states reserve the right to charge and prosecute any adult who violates existing laws that pertain to adult and minor relationships without the cooperation of the minor or the minor's parents or legal guardian.
In the US, no. Being pregnant/giving birth does not emancipate a minor in any state.
The 18 year old SHOULD take responsibility of the child with the 16 yard old mom but the father almost always leaves them, the mom and the baby. (Which I think is just sad - in my opinion)
Yes it is, the laws dont want any1 over the age of 18 to sexually converse with ppl younger than 18, if you do its called "child molestion"
This depends on the laws on the state and if the parents want to press charges.
the nineteen year old could go to prison.
No big deal.
The expression 'getting by' means the person is not in trouble but not prospering either. They're doing OK.
yes
No but possibly if you asked him to pay for things regarding the "pregnancy". Then you owe him the money.
Probably not, the age of consent in Nebraska is 16 years of age. It sure isn't going to make the parents happy! And if there is evidence of activity before she turned 16, there could be statutory rape charges.
