Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

Statutory Rape Resulting in Pregnancy

In WI, medical and governmental authorities who learn that a minor is pregnant are required to report the matter to law enforcement. It is then simple to determine the identity of the offender through DNA evidence; so the father will indeed nearly always be charged and convicted of child sexual assault. Most other states have similar laws. The only good news for your boyfriend is that voluntary sexual contact with a 16 or 17 year old is generally a misdemeanor rather than a felony, unless certain aggravating factors are present. Class A misdemeanors in WI are punishable by up to nine months in jail, rather than decades in prison if the victim is under the age of 16, although every sex act can result in an additoinal charge. Incidental, at your age range, marriage might be legally possible for you with parental consent, which could prevent the charges.
