If you are 16 and pregnant and living with the father who is 24 in Minnesota can he go to jail?

Answer 1

Maybe. Depends on where they live. In CA he is considered an adult male and she is a minor, so yes he could be charged with rape of a minor. In other states the age of consent is 16 so the answer is no. One or two states have the age of consent as 21 so the answer would be yes for those states.

Answer 2

Only if you press charges. Or you say you didnt want to have sex and he forced you. Which would be very wrong. Also, some states have different laws. In some places it's considered rape just because of your age and his, no matter what you say. But usually charges have to be pressed for that to happen.

Answer 3

of course he should go to jail becase she is still a minor and they can charge him for sexutory rape. so you should worry about that situation just think if it was you!

Answer 4

I only know this as a Wyoming resident... but no he cannot... unless your raped

Answer 5

No. Unless the girl claims she was raped, they're both consenting adults and legal.

Answer 6

{| |- | The age of consent is 16 years of age. There should be no legal consequences. Note that parents cannot consent to break the law. |}

Answer 7

Not in most jurisdictions. There are a few places where it would be a crime.
