Q: Can my 19 year old boyfriend be arrested for getting me pregnant ? Im 16.
I was born in April of 1999 and he was born in August of 1996.
I've been dating him for 2 years, we have proof of this as we went to prom together in 2013.
My mother doesn't know yet, I would like to be prepared if there is a way for him to go to jail because I really don't want to go through this alone. He's supportive and happy but of course we are scared. We're teenagers, we got carried away in a moment and now we are paying for it . Please help. (I live in Texas )
A: He needs to go see a private criminal defense attorney immediately for a full discussion about this, in my opinion.
