Can the father of my baby be legally prosecuted because he is 18 and i am 16?

Yes, he can. He may not be, but he surely can.

Yes. He can definitely be prosecuted. He should get a lawyer.

He is 18 and you are 16 and pregnant, - yes he can be legally prosecuted. He needs to consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney. He can find one on this site under Find a Lawyer. Most will offer free consultations. Best to discuss with an attorney soon.

Yes, that is possible. If there is any hint that it may actually occur, he needs to keep his mouth shut and get a lawyer.

Yes he can. I would consult with attorneys just in case. It may not happen...and it might.

Yes. 1. He committed a felony 2. You need to make better life choices.

We get this question way too frequently, which leaves me shaking my head. Unless you intentionally wanted to get pregnant, birth control is awfully cheap. Do you know how this is going to impact your life, having a child at 16? And yes, your boyfriend can be charged with a misdemeanor and required to register as a sex offender. Hope your mother is understanding or baby daddy is going to have some serious legal problems.

Yes he can be. Also be aware that if your doctor or school nurse, or any other "Mandatory reporter" speaks with you about this issue and you disclose his age they will be required to report the matter to law enforcement.

Your mother can certainly bring this to the attention of law enforcement and or the District Attorney's Office. Whether or not they decide to prosecute your boyfriend is a whole other issue.
