i turned 18 in july. i have a suspicion my ex raped me when we were just friends when i was 16 and he was 21 he got me drunk and gave me pills and i passed out to where i couldn't not be woken and i was swore the next morning, but had no proof and i thought he wouldnt do that he is to nice. then we started having intercourse right after i turned 17. then at 17 i got pregnant. during most of my pregnancy he was 22. i had our child at 17 about 3 weeks later i turned 18. then i had to take our child to the hospital his father, my ex, was watching him that night he confessed to have abused our 7 week old child at the time. my child had 15 broken bones, he was thrown in jail and his parents bailed him out till the trial. and i'm so mad i would like to get him in trouble for more things that he is quilty of, because he hurt my baby! In texas can a 22 year old man be prosicuted for being with a 17 year old female.

The legal age of consent in Texas is 17. Here is a link to that information. Scroll down to find Texas. You need to have an attorney interpret the exact law for you.
As for the abuse of the child, he should go to jail for the rest of his life. He should be tortured every single day for the h**l he put that poor baby through

At 17 you are still a minor in most cases, generally in Texas this would be considered statutory rape. Unless this has happened numerous times and the parents already know about the sexual encounters.

Why did you stay with him after you thought he had raped you in the first place?
In South Africa as long as you are 16 and willing there ain't nothing you can do. I suggest that you write this guy out of your life, take your child far away and work towards making sure that for the rest of your life no man ever touches your baby again....

I think a lot of time passed since that moment and if you have no proof to what you say, i think that nowhere in the world would it be possible to prossecute someone without evidence... i wish you all the good luck, you'll need it.

o yeah its called statutory rape even if the girl consents to sex he is 5 yrs older than her and shes under 18. At 18 the girl can consent to sex with any man no matter his age.

Yes, it is statutory rape unless you were already married at the time with your parents' permission
