Statutory Rape Laws in NY: Consent and Age of Consent
No, a 19 year old boy cannot go to jail for getting a 16 year old girl pregnant with both parents' consent in New York State. In New York, the age of consent is 17, so the 19 year old boy would not be considered to have committed statutory rape. Additionally, since both parents have consented to the relationship, there would be no legal grounds for the boy to be charged with any crime.Teen Substance Abuse - Related Articles
