Yes that is exactly what it was. Depending on what state you are from if you or someone in your family filed charges the daddy could spend time in jail plus have his life messed up forever by having his name placed on the Sex Offenders List. Once that happens he might as well shoot himself in the head because he wont be able to get a job and where ever he lives his neighbors will hate him.

Statutory rape is illegal sexual activity between two people when it would otherwise be legal if not for their age. The actual ages for these laws vary greatly from state-to-state, as do the punishments for offenders. Many states do not use the actual term "statutory rape," simply calling it rape or unlawful sexual penetration. These laws rarely apply only to intercourse, but rather to any type of sexual contact. Dating someone without sexual contact cannot be considered a form of statutory rape, and is almost never illegal.
All states have an "age of consent," or an age at which a person can legally consent to sexual activity and can then no longer be a victim of statutory rape. Some states also have laws that look at the age difference between the two people as well as their individual ages. All states have laws that have restrictions on the relationship between the two people, changing the age of consent, or the penalty, for sexual relations between a person of authority, such as a teacher, assistant coach, or tutor. These laws change, and can vary depending on other circumstances. For more information on how these laws apply in the various states, try the Answer Board.
Statutory rape charges can be brought up by the victim, parents of the victim, and in most states, they can be raised by the state. California has been a major example of this, filing charges against fathers of pregnant women, at the protest of both the women and the parents of the involved parties.

Yes in some states/countries. Depends on age of majority for sexual consent and/or difference in ages NOT age you are when delivering BUT age when sexual act occured.
Why do you ask? Just curious I hope... and if illegal may not be prosecuted OR if married now MAY still be prosecuted... ain't the LAW grand???
One of the reasons people move... or go to the state next door to be married legally and then return to the state where they cannot be married legally BUT which does recognize neighboring states marriage WHICH THEN makes your marriage 'legal'!!!
Marriage may change how the law is applied as well.
Or the marriage legal in one state/country may not be recognized in the other!
Or if married one place and desiring divorce you may have to return there for the divorce!!!

Depends on the state you live in. Statutory means "anyone" under the legal age, which is usually 18 in most states.
