My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia
I am 15 and I am pregnant by my boyfriend. He just turned 19, but he was 18 when we had sex and i became pregnant. What is the expected jail time he would serve when my parents press charges?
From here.Quote:
16-6-3. Statutory rape.
(a) A person commits the offense of statutory rape when he or she
engages in sexual intercourse with any person under the age of 16 years
and not his or her spouse, provided that no conviction shall be had for
this offense on the unsupported testimony of the victim.
(b) A person convicted of the offense of statutory rape shall be
punished by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than 20 years;
provided, however, that if the victim is 14 or 15 years of age and the
person so convicted is no more than three years older than the victim,
such person may, in the discretion of the court, be punished as for a
misdemeanor.
