Michigan Law: Consent & Pregnancy When Age Gaps Exist

In Michigan, the age of consent is 16, meaning that legally, a 16 year old can consent to sex. Therefore, a 16 year old would not get into trouble for getting a 14 year old pregnant in Michigan, as long as the sex was consensual. However, there may be other consequences, such as the 16 year old being required to pay child support or the parents of the 14 year old pressing charges for statutory rape.
