Since no Indiana lawyers have answered your question I will give it a shot. As far as I can tell, the age of consent in Indiana is sixteen. Your ex must have been at least sixteen when she became pregnant, so I don't see how you could be charged with statutory rape for that encounter. However, if there is evidence of other encounters before she reached legal age, it may still be possible to charge for those incidents.
Yes, age of consent is 16. If she was 16 when you had sex, and it was in Indiana,no criminal problem exists.
