I'm 17 and I'm with a 20 year old, So I'm assuming he can't be charged, the legal age of consent is 16. So I think it won't be possible to charge him the are close in age, and She is over 16.

Well first of all file for child support. But after 2 1/2 years it's a bit late. The mother is now 19, charges should have been filed 2 1/2 years ago if at all. In some states it is okay for a 17 year old to have sex with an adult consentually. You would have had to check your state laws first. But it's too late now.

The age of majority in Illinois is 18, so willing or not, regardless of the age difference it's still statutory rape and the 20 year old male can definitely be charged.

I don't know what the age of consent is in Illinois. I do know some states consider anyone under 18 a minor, willing or not.

Whether or not it is considered statutory rape depends upon the age of consent in your area. However, there is usually a "close in age exemption" which means that the two individuals involved are close to the same age as each other than charges of statutory rape may be negated. Furthermore, in order for anything to come of the situation someone (such as the parents) would need to press charges.
You can find the age of consent in Ilinois here: http://www.youthlaw.org/publications/minor_consent/
For the situation you are asking about, it would seem that legal penalties have been avoided.
Hope this was helpful!

No. The age of consent in Illinois is 17, which you are. As long as you agreed to the sex, he cannot be charged with statuatory rape
And to that person saying the age of majority in Ill. is 18, for sexual acts the age of CONSENT is used, not majority

No. The age of consent in Illinois is 17 12 months previous. in spite of if it became 18, many states (don't be attentive to if it is so in Illinois) now comprise an exception to statutory rape, which states that if there is under 4 years between the underage person and the significant different, then that is not statutory rape. which means technically, she might desire to be sixteen and it might nevertheless be criminal, even even with the shown fact that she is under the age of consent because of the fact he isn't any better than 4 years older than her.

It all depends on the state. In most but not all states 17 is at or above the age of consent. Consent is not a factor in statutory rape because by definition you are under the age to give consent. In some states there has to be a certain age difference to be statutory rape but again not all states. You have to look up the laws for your state.

there was a guy last year who had been 18 for 3 months that was thrown in jail and sent to prison for statuory rape for having sex with a girl that was almost 17, so yes he could easily get thrown in jail. so if you are gonna have sex, use a condom (follow the instructions) and be careful who you tell, but he COULD but the law isnt monitering every one screwing around or anything so as long as no one presses charges or u dont get pregnate he is fine
live
love
prosper
