Last year, I got pregnant in March (I was 15 years old at the time, and my boyfriend was 18 years old). During the second week of June, I had a miscarriage. My Mom stuck with the fact that if it happened again, she would bring that experience up to the police. Up to this day, I am still with the same guy.. and now I am 16 years old, and he is 19 years old... and I'm pregnant again. Could my boyfriend go to jail for this, and if so, for how long approximately? Is there any way to get around this??
I suppose if Mom can prove it and decides to pursue it. From Indiana statutes:
IC 35-42-4-9
Sexual misconduct with a minor
Sec. 9. (a) A person at least eighteen (18) years of age who, with a child at least fourteen (14) years of age but less than sixteen (16) years of age, performs or submits to sexual intercourse or deviate sexual conduct commits sexual misconduct with a minor, a Class C felony.
(b) A person at least eighteen (18) years of age who, with a child at least fourteen (14) years of age but less than sixteen (16) years of age, performs or submits to any fondling or touching, of either the child or the older person, with intent to arouse or to satisfy the sexual desires of either the child or the older person, commits sexual misconduct with a minor, a Class D felony.
Go to this link to read about Class C felony and Class D felony: http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title35/ar50/ch2.html
Scroll down to > IC 35-50-2-6 and IC 35-50-2-7.
These are the defenses that are allowed.
(c) It is a defense that the accused person reasonably believed that the child was at least sixteen (16) years of age at the time of the conduct. However, this subsection does not apply to an offense described in subsection (a)(2) or (b)(2).
(d) It is a defense that the child is or has ever been married. However, this subsection does not apply to an offense described in subsection (a)(2) or (b)(2).
Side note (a)(2) or (b)(2) had nothing to do with your situation so I didn't bother posting all of it.
It also doesn't look good that your mom knew of this and did nothing about it at the time.
