Will my boyfriend go to jail/prison?

0

I live in Michigan and I am 17 years old he is 19 almost 20. I was completely willing but I could possibly be pregnant. I was wondering if he could go to jail for ‘statutory rape’? My parents will not press charges either but if/will the state?

Depends on the age of consent in Michigan. From my quick internet search it is 16 years old. Which means that there is no need for him to worry about going to prison as you are considered sexually mature and can make the decision to have on your own. Circumstances of course change if you remove your consent to a sexual relationship.

No the state will not. He could get in trouble if your parents press charges or if you reported him. But that is the only way.

To give consent you have to be of the age of consent, and there has to be no case of diminished capacity. In Michigan the age of consent is 16. So as long as there was no case of drugs or alcohol that can be proven, you both will be fine. Your parents can not press charges.

Like swifting said the age of consent for sex in Michigan is 16, which you are over so the law is not against you. So the only thing you and your boyfriend are guilty of here is being careless about protection.
