my husband made a mistake last year while we were apart he had sex with a 16 year old now a year later she is claiming she had his baby which is technically impossible since you cant be pregnant for a year. now i want a dna test but i need to know if he is going to get into trouble.

If he is a teacher, employee, or other official in a school district, school union, educational unit, school, facility or institution in which the 16 year old was a student enrolled in the same facility, he may be found in violation of 254 Sexual abuse of minors. (statute letter "C" below)

If he is not any of the above, he would NOT be found in violation of the law; the age of consent to have sexual intercourse is 16 years of age in the state of Maine.
