Got My Girlfriend Pregnant 7 Days Before Age of Consent in Mt

[bob264]

My question involves law in the state of Montana. The time was 2 months ago, I am 19 and my girlfriend was turning 16 in 7 days. We had sex 7 days before her birthday. I know this to be the time of conception because we haven't had sex since then and her pregnancy test came back postive. Would they ever be able to prove that we didn't have sex on or after her birthday because it is so close to the time she would be able to consent? Is it likely that they would press charges for having sex 7 days before the age of consent if she chooses to have a baby? Could they prove this beyond a reasonable doubt?? If one parent wants to press charges and the other doesn't, and the one who doesnt want to press charges has custody of her, could i still be charged? PLEASE HELP.

Why yes you could. Did it occur to you that you should be?

Yes, you could.

But let's face it - we STILL cannot determine when exactly conception occurred. That's why the due date can be 7-10 days before or after the date you're given.

We do not (as a group) condone your actions. Nevertheless, you're owed the same response we'd give to anyone else asking about dates of conception.

Quite honestly you need to be prepared to pay child support for this child for at least the next 18 years.

Thank you for your unbiased answer. Not saying anyone should condone my reprehensible actions. It was a mistake on my part, one that I plan on supporting and paying for that is why I am asking this. I have a great relationship with her parents. We were using birth control, it did not work in this case. Should I not be worried then? My lawyer is esteemed and accomplised in MT. Is this (conception time) just a huge gray area?

Seriously, outside of specific and consistent monitoring it is nigh on impossible for a third party to pinpoint the actual date and time. It's confusing enough to most people to consider that the DOC and the date of the..act... can be two entirely different things.
