And is happy to have the kid. The mother of the 14yo doesnt know im 21. What can and cant happen in this situation for the father?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Legally speaking, a 14 year old cannot consent to sex. The father is subject to prosecution for aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Aggravated criminal sexual abuse is set forth in 720 ILCS 5/12-16, which provides that it is a Class 2 felony offense. The sentence for aggravated criminal sexual abuse is 3-7 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections and a possible $25,000 fine.
In the eyes of Illinois law, the father has committed a crime and is subject to prosecution.
The father needs to contact an attorney to protect himself.
good luck,
