We live in MN. I have an 18 year old daughter (she turned 18 on Dec 20, 2009). We just found out she is 30 weeks pregnant. Which means she got pregnant while she was 17 in Aug of 2009. The father of the baby is 30 years old, and would have been 29 at the time she became pregnant. He is on SSI for a disability, unknown for sure why, but I suspect a slight mental handicap. He lives with his mother and she says he is his own guardian but she controls his SSI and his money. I want to know if there is a case for statutory rape. My daughter would not agree with this and has taken all the blame on herself. What can I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you read your states laws on this subject? What is age of consent in your state? These are important issues. If age of consent is below 18 then yes there is a case, if not then it sunlikely there is one. This site has dealt with questions like your before try here as well
