I've been knowing this girl a long time and she's been all about telling me she's in college and has a good job and all that so I finally asked her out and we've been having a good relationship for about six months and sleeping together and everything and then I found out she's pregnant and when I found out she was pregnant I told her that I wanted to move in together and then she tells me she lied about everything and she's actually only 15 and lives with her parents and now Imma little scarred that they is gonna put me in jail. So if I go to the sherrif and turn myself in and tell the story will it help me out from going to jail cause I can't be going to jail or I'm going to lose my scholarship and everything.

Dang, I'm sorry. What a little deceitful girl. Unfortunately statutory rape is a matter of strict liability and saying "I didn't know she was underage." Is not an excuse.
My advice: Get a really good lawyer!

How do you NOT know she's 15 and living with her parents after dating her six months? I mean, people lie and everything, but how do you keep everything a secret for so long? I hope for your sake you're not black and don't live in the South. By that, I mean absolutely no disrespect, but there is precedent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson_v._State_of_Georgia . Genarlow Wilson went to jail for getting head from a 15-year old when he was 17. Get a lawyer and be really nice to her parents.

What you should do is talk to the girl's parents first. They must know you two have been seeing each other. She did have to tell them she was going out and with whom. If her parents were totally in the dark about this don't go to them first. Talk to the girl and the both of you should then go to her parents. You have to get her parents behind you in this or you will be going to jail. Now that you know how old she is you need to keep seeing her only you need to be sure her parents know you are still seeing her. You also need to make financial arrangements for the baby. Start a saving account now and also go to her doctor appointments and make payments to him. Her parents need to see you as a responsible young man. One who is living up to his responsibilities. You want them to have the highest opinion of you that they possibly can under the circumstances. This is just about the only things you can do and stay out of jail.

First of all find a good attorney even if you cant afford it find away consult with them on it. Do you have anything that can prove she was lying about her age? Fake ID??? has she been toa 21 and older bar with you? how old are you and what state you are in will playa big part. Whatever happens be a man and be a father to that child. this sort of thing happens all the time and the guy usually gets screwed I know I have had to arrest several guys in this situation. Good luck

Depending on what state you are in.....Dude, your screwed. I hate to break it to you that way but you two were dating for 6 months and you didnt know that she was a CHILD? She's 15 yrs old. Wasn't it odd that she had to be home by 8pm? I know its technically not your fault since she lied to you but unless she stands in court to testify stating that she lied to you about her age....I don't even know if that will work. Tough break man.

I think you should go to her parents and explain what happened. And, if you love her, ask for her parents' permission to marry her. They may not agree, but at least you will have done the honorable thing.
If you don't marry the mother of your child, please stay in your child's life anyway. He or she needs their father as much as they need their mother.
If you end up being accused of statutory rape, you will be joining a very large group of men who are now labeled sexual predators. When you get out of jail I suggest you be very careful when you start dating again. Choose wisely.
Take care,

Well if the girl's parents hate you then you're probably doing to jail if you're over 18. Because you're having a baby, if they don't put you in jail, you can probably forget about going to college unless your or her parents are well off and willing to help take care of the baby.

That's messed up, you never saw her id, you are in a big jam. I hope you are no longer with her. You have to be a father to the child but any further relations with her would be illegal. Dam, you never went to her work? Did you meet her parents? I don't know what to tell you. Sorry if your being truth full

Keep your mouth shut -- nothing may come of it. You have no idea what is going on - obviously she's a liar 100%......they will probably laugh at you if you go in there. PLUS if she's pregnant, you don't even know it's YOURS. NEVER ADMIT GUILT until it's necessary and even then, your lawyer will probably advise you to plead innocent.

Take the girl and move to Indonesia. There you can become a Muslim and everything you have done instantly becomes legal under Sharia law. If she doesn't obey you in every way, you can have her flogged, and you can make her take care of the baby, do all the housework, and never go anywhere without you.
There is some really nice scenery there, too.
