Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

Hello. The laws about sexual conduct are very complex.

If your mom were to take action, what it means is that she would make a report to appropriate authorities about the situation. Your mom does not make a decision about criminal charging.

Congratulations about your baby who's 'on the way' !! There is nothing more beautiful in life than a precious baby !!

We attorneys provide general info' on law to the public here. Your attorney, or your BF's attorney, may provide legal advice to each of you. With a lovely, innocent little baby 'on the way', I do urge you & your BF to seek private & confidential nature attorney counsel now. Know that the confidentiality of the relationship between attorney & her client has strong protections in law and rules of licensure.

All the best to you !!!

"Criminal Sexual Conduct" statutes in Minnesota lay out a multitude of situations where sex can sometimes be a crime, including consensual sex where one of the sex partners is under the age of 16. If a person is charged with a sex crime, that person may suffer multiple, severe, life-altering consequences, and many of those will spill over to negatively affect other people connected ot that person - including their children and parnters.

Ideally you should consult a criminal lawyer with your questions (rather than trying to use an online Q & A site). If your boyfriend is being investigated on a complaint of a sex crime, he needs a defense lawyer to represent him. But if so, you could be a witness that the police and prosecution would try to use to help them hurt him. As a witness, you have the right to be represented by a lawyer too. And you should. In the meantime, you can read the Minnesota Statutes defining "Criminal Sexual Conduct" crimes online, on the Minnesota legislatures webiste, to see where your situation might fit in, or if it does.
