The girl's parents could charge him with statutory rape. Which means rape of a minor. And they can still charge him with it even if she consented. In some states the doctors will even do this. So your brother would be in a very bad situation.

It changes for each state your in...Where do you live?

But in texas, with that great of an age difference its considered a second degree felony. And this carries a 2-20 year sentence, and up to a $10,000 fine, as well as mandatory registration as a sex offender upon release.

well over here, nothing really , unless the parents file charges against him. Depends on where u r living and if religion is accountable.

Here - I found this. It may help explain it better...

Well, im 14 & the boyfriend is 18. But my parent's are completely fine with him.

Tell him to be careful! There are many states in which the govt can press charges even if the girl and her parents don't want them to. Just make sure she knows never to admit that he is the father, or if he lives in one of those states, he can be charged with statutory rape.

Yeah thats what im worried about ;\ 'cuz i'm applying for cashaid and they want his name, but we kept telling them that i'm not with him right now, so why should I give his name out? Oh I dont know, because I want his name on the birth certificate and everything but yeah.

Yea he can get charged when I was 14 and preg he was 20 my parents called the cops on my baby daddy and he just confessed to everything we didnt lie and he got out of the charges thank god for it tho

so tell him to careful if she is tight with her mom tell her

It all depends on how she and her parents feel about it really.

My boyfriend was only 18 when I got pregnant at 16. But nothing ended up happening to him and we are still together.

I hope everything works out for you and your brother. *hugs*

not if you live in one of those states I was talking about. If you do, they can charge him no matter how you and your parents feel about it.

Jason will be 18 next year, I hope that doesnt happen to us

Michelle, what website gave you that information? We live in tennessee. Some people have said that since we live in such a small town with only a few thousand people in it, that the cops might get bored and decide to be asses because they have nothing else to do with their time. My friend that I was talking about, they lived in a much larger town and her boyfriend didn't sign the birthcertificate. Not because they were worried about him getting in trouble, but because she broke up with him and didn't want his name on there I guess. My brother's girl's parents are completely cool with my brother dating her. Well, her mom...Her dad is dead. But, my brother has been living with his girlfriend and her mom for months and they have thought she was pregnant before and her mom was excited. I really doubt my brother would have to worry about the parent thing. I don't know about the state though. Maybe thats something they should look into and get some information on before they have any accidents.

Im nervous now

i know that from now on, if she got pregnant, she would be 16 when her baby would be born. Do you think he could still get into trouble if she was 15 and pregnant by him??

I got it off sexlaws.Org

but you can find more information easily. Go to google.Com and search for something along the lines of "sex laws in tenessee" or "statutory rape in tenessee"

hope that helps.

Erin do u know any states? Esp for nj & ca?
