Yes he can, for statutory rape.
How about you do it the right way: get married, find a place to live that is secure, and THEN consider a baby. Grow up a bit first.

OMG! First why is and 18 with a 15? He's an adult and your still a child! Children should not have children! YES! He can get in trouble! It's bascially considered rape! You shouldn't want kids at your age! You have a life ahead of you! Make a life for yourself first. Do you have any idea what your doing? Your still in school. Wait and go onto collage first. I mean what kinda of life would you and a baby have if you were flipping hambugers because you made the choice to have a baby to soon. I'm 8 months pregnant and am having the hardest time of my life! My boyfriend works and both of our families have been helping us and were still struggling. I can't work because of problems with my pregnancy but, even when I was we still didn't know how to do it. It's so hard! Please stop and think before you bring a life into this world! Think about all the cost................ Diapers, Wipes, Clothes (babies grow FAST), Bibs, Burb Cloths, Socks, Shoes, Tub, Car Seat, Stroller, Bouncer, Swing, Crib, Crib Bedding Set, Blankets, Towels, Wash Cloths, Bottles, Nipples, Pacifiers................. And that's not EVEN close to all the things you need! Plus, think of your hospital and doctors bills! It's just to much for a 15yr and 18yr. Please at least stop and add up the cost of everything and think about what the babys furture would be like. Every parent wants to give their baby everything! At 15 and 18 there is NO WAY you could and it'll break your heart when you want to get something for your child and can't. Trust me, I know!

Your friend is wrong - he could be arrested . There is no such thing as a Romeo law . You are too young to plan a baby at this stage - if you are both still together in 5 or 6 years get married and then think about a family - you may not think it but you are not being fair to yourself or your future child . Good luck , I hope you do the right thing x

First of all do your parents know about this relationship?He can go to jail .There is no way that you should want a baby right now! Get your education first .Let your relationship mature , honey you are still a baby and to be honest he needs to be with someone his own age.Trust me sweetie you don't want a baby!It is hard two babies having a baby wont be easy.Who is to say that you all will even be together in the next few months.Think about what you are doing before you make a mistake that you can take back.You need to really think about your future and be a young lady for now. Not tied down by a 18 yr old supposed to be man.Think!!! And I know I am not the only person who feels this way.He is considered a petifile and men like him gets raped in jail so good luck.

I'm from California, and here he would get in trouble because he is of legal age and you are not. I'm not sure what state you're from but I've never heard of the Romeo law, but the laws about minors and adults should be across the board for every state. I am not going to be judgemental because that's not my job, but I will just ask you to think about what you'd like to do in the future as far as career/job, and maybe traveling. These are some things to consider before marriage and before having a child, because once you are tied down with a husband and a child your life will forever change, and it may not be what you intially thought it would be. You are very young, and you have your whole life ahead of you, and your freedom is very precious at this stage in your life, so think about things before you make a decision, because once it's done, it cannot be undone. Good luck!!

DO NOT have a baby so young. You need to get an education and worry about yourself before you bring a child into this world. I have a baby and it is hard at 25, I cannot even IMAGINE having a child at 15. How are you two going to provide for this child? A baby is a 24 hour job and you can't give it back when you are tired of playing house.

What do you have to offer that child, it's not a baby for long all cute like a little doll you can dress. You are responsible for a whole life! Wait until you are in your 20's before you have a child, then you can pass your exams, get a decent job, build a career, buy a house and provide a stable environment for the child.
Your 18 year old boyfriend is also not mature if he thinks this will work. What does he do for a living? Has he got prospects? Can he provide long term for the child?

The fact that you are talking about having a baby together at your age just proves that you are WAY too immature for a baby in the first place. You both have A LOT of growing up to do before purposefully bringing another life into the picture. What 15 year old in her right mind would get pregnant on purpose?! You are still a baby yourself. DON'T DO IT. And yes, your bf would get in trouble for statutory rape! He's considered an adult and you are not. Even States that have an age of consent under 18 do not have it as low as 15.

Wait a few years. What if you two dont work out! Do you have jobs, a place of your own? Finish school, education is important! A baby is a big responsiblity. What about when your 18 or 21 and want to go clubbing or to a bar for the first time? You gunna leave baby at home? No no no!!! Dont do this!! WAIT!!! And yes, he can get in trouble. I think your momma should turn him in now and save you from pregnancy!!!! And put your *** on birth control!

Trouble with the law would be absolutly NOTHING compared to the trouble you two will have in your lives if you decide to have a baby. Why do you want a baby so bad? You and Him NEED TO WAIT! Having a baby would not solve anything. It will not bring you closer together, it will not make you two stay together when you have problems. And YEAH he would probably would go to jail. Then how do you plan to take care of the baby on your own? Think Seriously. WAIT. WAIT. WAIT

I'm sorry to tell you this, but step back and think about this for a minute. You are 15 and he is 18 and you have the rest of your lives in front of you. Ask yourself several things first....
where will you live, who will buy diapers, how are you going to pay for the pregnancy and medical care if the baby gets sick. What if it's twins or how about triplets even. It happens. If you are in love and it is meant to be, what is the rush? You are young and have the rest of your lives. Get established first. Finish school, get your education so that you and your bf are better able to cope with the financial aspects of all of this. That will make your life together a lot easier and so much more enjoyable. You MAY be mature for your age, but newborns wake up to be fed every two to three hours. How are you going to cope with that, a babsitter and still finish school? School is the most important thing in your lives right now. If he's not pursuing an education, look for someone who wants more out of life than that. You deserve better and so does your unborn baby. Trust me, it will matter. You can't live on love. Rethink this, please.
