i think it depands on your state laws on
how much trouble you will be in. but i can
tell you this my step brother had sex with
a 15 year old and he was 18 and he never
has been in trouble before and get got 2
years.

I know the laws in florida are different
than in most states...and it also depends
on the girls parents. Are they going to
press charges? You need to look into the
laws of your state.
USA Alabama 16
USA Alaska 16
USA Arizona 18
USA Arkansas 16
USA California 18
USA Colorado 15/17
USA Connecticut 16
USA D.C. 16
USA Delaware 16/18
USA Florida 16/18
USA Georgia 16
USA Hawaii 16
USA Idaho 16/18
USA Illinois 17
USA Indiana 16
USA Iowa13 14/16
USA Kansas 16
USA Kentucky 16
USA Louisiana 17
USA Maine 16
USA Maryland 16
USA Massachusetts 16
USA Michigan 16
USA Minnesota 16
USA Mississippi 16
USA Missouri13 14/17
USA Montana 16/18
USA Nebraska 17
USA Nevada 16
USA New Hampshire 16
USA New Jersey 16
USA New Mexico 17
USA New York 17
USA North Carolina 16
USA North Dakota 18
USA Ohio 16
USA Oklahoma 16
USA Oregon 18
USA Pennsylvania 16
USA Rhode Island 16
USA South Carolina14/16
USA South Dakota 16
USA Tennessee 18
USA Texas13 17
USA Utah13 16/18
USA Vermont 16
USA Virginia 18
USA Washington 16/18
USA West Virginia 16
USA Wisconsin 18
USA Wyoming 16/18?
USA Traveling Citizens 18
when you have the 16/18 it means that 16
if the man/woman is 18-25 or 30 is ok for
16 and up, but if the insured is above
25-30 (depends on the state) it's not
good.
good luck to you.

Go to Goggle or Dogpile and type in
Wisconsin State Laws...there should be
lots of sites that will come up and tell
you what you are looking for. Oh, and for
the record, this does not make you a bad
person....an irresponsible one maybe, but
not a bad person. You do need to be
willing to step up to the plate and take
on whatever is required of you. If this
means playing "daddy" and paying child
support, you be the best Dad you can be. I
do hope from now on, if you are gonna try
on the shoes....wear socks!

I'm assuming that means anyone over 18
cannot legally have sex with a person
under the age of 18.

You have shared very little so we aren't
really aware of the circumstances, but in
any event, even if you were to get some
time, you would still be the
father........... Think postive, are you
100% this girl is pregnant, how young is
she? I believe if parents force hte issue
you could be in some trouble, have you
talked with them at all?

she is 17. We still dont know if she is
pregnant for sure. she went to the doctor
and the test said she wasnt....but it
might be too early to tell. She said the
doc said she didnt have to tell her
parents who the father was.....but i dont
know if that would even protect me from
going to jail or not....i dont know how
things work. I will probably have to talk
to the parents if she is preg. and hope
that they dont try to kill me

Where abouts in .w.i are you? Better not
be any of my nieces!!!!!!! j/k!
And if the dr. says she's not pregnant,
then she's probably not. Especially if you
used protection every time.

good question, where in wisconsin are you,
better not be anyone i know lol
i know this will sound harsh and mean but
if shes 17 why dont you keep it in your
pants for a few more monthes and you wont
have to worry?
if the doc says the test was neg (im
assuming since it was a doc not a preg
center thing, it was a blood test) then
she isnt, especially if she missed her
period already
at 17 it would most likely depend on her
parents, the state usualy wont do anything
at that age because she is almost 18
sorry i cant be of more help
oh and the only way that would make you a
bad person is if you raped her, which it
doesnt sound like, you were just
irresponsible and didnt think (even if you
used protection, you still must have known
it could happen and if it did there would
be consequences, which makes you
irresponcible, sorry but thats that
facts)

i dont know...she told me the doctor said
she needed to go back in 2 weeks to make
sure. The test she did at the hospital
came out negative....but the ones she took
on her own at home said positive. I know
it was irresponsible....i even told her i
didnt want to do it anymore before this
happened....but it was to late. I guess I
just have to wait untill she goes back to
the doc to know for sure if she is or not.

Did she take the home test before or after
she went to the doctor?
If she took it before, it's possible she
didn't test correctly. If you wait longer
than (I think) 10 minutes, an evaporation
line will form which might make the test
look positive.
I would trust the hospital. If she got a
positive at home, she should have gotten a
positive at the hospital.

True. True.
Sounds to me like this is a lot of worry
over nothing. Besides, she is 17 - and
from the looks of it, you won't be
'convicted' of a crime.

hmm...well the doctor said that they
needed to retset to make sure it was
accurate. She did take the home test
before she went to the doctor.
the doc said it that the test she took
there was negative and she had to come
back in 2 weeks because it might be too
early to tell. That is all i know.
