    Statutory Rape? What? How can he be charged with Statutory Rape?

    You were both minors when the pregnancy occurred.

    I don't know what the laws are in Colorado when it comes to that, so you should look that up. In Utah, where I live, the law states that if the minor is 16, they can have sex with someone who is within 2 years of their age until they are 18, and then they are free for whatever. But 15 and below, any sex with someone older is considered child abuse. Perhaps Colorado is similar.. I have no idea.

    But as far as being charged with statutory rape because he got you pregnant when he was 17 and you were 16, no freaking way. BUT if you continue to have sex after he is 18, there is a possibility there.

    That can still vary. Not long ago a 17 year old got a 10 year sentence in similar situation (later revised) However he was tried as adult

    Becoming pregnant only grants you MEDICAL emancipation - meaning that you get to be the one to make decisions about your medical care related to the pregnancy and medical care related to your child. It in no way, shape, or form provides additional freedom from parental control and responsibility, nor does it provide you ANY of the other legal benefits of emancipation - only a judge can do that (and it WON'T happen if you're pregnant).
