Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Missouri

I was looking on a web site about age consent and it says If you are over 18 but under 21, the age of consent is 14. If you are over 21, you may not have sexual intercourse with anyone under 17. is that true? so does that mean you if your 14 and get pregnant by a 19 year old , he couldnt get in any legal trouble.

Of course a 19 year old can get into some trouble for having sex with a 14 year old. But, if it appears to a mutually sought activity (sexual contact) and the child's parent(s) seem to allow it. prosecutors are often hesitant to prosecute.

Good luck
