Threat of Statutory Rape Charges in Texas

i am 17 and live in texas
my parents are threatening to press statutory rape charges against my 20 year old boyfriend for the sex we had when i was 16 if i move in with him.
can they do so?

Can they file a police report? Certainly. It will be up to a prosecutor whether or not to act on it.

when i was 16 i got pregnant,the guy was also 20,a report was filed because my parents were extremely pissed. statement were taken and i said it was consentual, then its up to the district attorney once its filed. i know that if you two get married before anything is filed, everything will be ok.

As you note, it's up to the D.A. to decide whether or not charges are filed. Unless you're the D.A., it's a bit premature to announce that "all will be well if you get married."

My daughter was 15 and the guy was 20 and nothing happened to him...we are still trying to get him charged.

When was this?

If you cant get him charged, file a restraining order.

The DA can still press charges even if the victim and defendant are married before indictment.
