In the state of Ohio, could a 21 year old go to jail for getting his 15 year old girlfriend pregnant? If so, is there any way to go around it? What if there is parent consent?

You didn't need to start another thread. Just because the parents are sick enough to offer up their 15 year old child to a perverted 21 year old guy doesn't make it legal. Hell, I hope THEY get a visit from the authorities too! :mad:

Google the stat rape law in Ohio.



If a child is under said age (16) then no one, including her parents or God, can give their "okay". Time for the idiot to get help with whatever issue prevents/compels him having a age-like relationship.

In the state of Ohio, could a 21 year old go to jail for getting his 15 year old girlfriend pregnant? Yes. And God help him once he's there - there is a hierarchy in prison and child molesters are the lowest of the low.

If so, is there any way to go around it?
That's up to the judge who sentences the lowlife scum.

What if there is parent consent? Parental consent cannot make the illegal legal, so no. And if the parents really did consent, they'll be sharing the cell next to the lowlife scum who raped their daughter.

Yep. The 21 year old is guilty of statutory rape. And the parents cannot consent. They can actually be charged as accomplices.

Yes, a 21 year old can get jail time for the statutory rape of his 15 year old girlfriend, regardless of parental approval of the relationship.

However, a 21 year old will not get jail time for impregnating his *wife*.

There are states that allow 15 year olds to marry. Ohio is not one of those states. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_marriage_in_the_United_States

If one does not want a long term relationship with the 15 year old child, one should do nothing with the 15 year old child that could result in the creation of a new child.
