Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

I met a man, we started seeing each other. In our first intimate encounter he forced me to have unprotected sex without my consent. I got pregnant. Now he laughs that it is my problem and nobody can make him responsible. What legally can I do in that case?

Simple - What should have been done immediately. Call the police and report the rape. The case against him has been harmed by the delay.

You must first legitimate the child. Once you establish that he is the father, then he will be ordered to pay child support. If he does not pay child support, then you can take a warrant for child abandonment. If he is not the father (Maury show), then you can search for the true father. You bringing rape charges, 9 plus months after intimacy seems absurd, but you can try it. See website for other hints: www.lawrencelewispc.com Good luck.
