Q: What all could happen if a 14 year old girl is caught sleeping and gets pregnant with a 25 year old man?

A: There are so many legal issues involved in that question, it reminded me of taking the bar exam a few decades ago! I'll do my best to just give answers, and then provide a little narrative in what could be a game changer!

1) if they were caught, it would definitely be statutory rape at the very nminimum, however, due to the age difference, the minor being (14), another set of legal obstacles would be this would fall under a more serious offense, under CA Penal Code 288 et. al., which under the circumstances described, would add additional prison time ( up to 3 years), and a lifetime of being a sexual registrant under California Penal Code 290.

2) The consent of your friend is literally moot, because under California law, the mere fact that the victim is 14, deems her unable to provide consent, due to her presumed lack of mental capacity under the age of 18.

3) The male adult of 25, would not only be unable to stick around, the pregnancy of a 14 year old, would generally allow the District Attorney to include an additional charge of great bodily injury, which allows an other 5 yrs to the sentence.

In an effort to simplify a rather difficult case due to the facts presented and ultimately the investigation that will take place, it is important to note that a charge can be added for every act, meaning how often did this behavior take place and how many times did they have unlawful sex. Additionally, I did not approach numerous other related charges that will be investigated, such as were other sexual acts ever performed during sexual intercourse, such as oral compilation, or other touching of the vaginal area.

In this particular case, there could be a sentence up to 8 years of prison, and a lifetime of being a sex registrant, and depending on the depth of the investigation, numerous other related charges that would increase the incarceration period. Again, this is a brief overview, but should outline the very serious nature of the offenses involved.

A: Sex with a minor is a crime: this sounds like a felony. His sentence, if convicted, depends on his priors and the facts of this crime in full. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney such as myself.

A: That's rape. The man is a felon and will go to prison. She can't give consent at 14. If you were really her friend, you would contact the police. She is making a horrible decision with lifelong consequences.
