is it legal?

Question

if a girl is 14 and her boyfriend is 16 they date for 2 years and she gets pregnant when he is 18 and she is then 16 is it still considered illegal in the state of texas

Answer 1

I think it is unless you have parental consent..

Answer 2

I snipped this from an attorney's website. It was written by Vincent Imhoff and Sapana Shah:
In Texas, for instance, the age of consent is 17 and the minimum age of child is 14 with an age differential of 3 years; thus, individuals who are at least 14 years of age can legally engage in sexual activities if the defendant is less than 3 years older than the accuser (Texas Penal Code § 22.011(a)(2)).

So seems like it is not illegal if there is less than three years difference in their ages. I think this is usually treated as a matter for the discretion of the girl's parents also.
You don't say which party you are in this question, perhaps understandably.

Answer 3

Texas age of consent is 17, but in some states there's a clause to 2 years, if she's 15 and he's 17 it's ok. you'd have to do more research to find out, the websites aren't opening for me.

Answer 4

I don't know about Texas, but it is in New York. We call that girl "jail bait".

Answer 5
