Can a 24yr old man get in trouble for having a baby by a 16yr old, who has a 3 yr old child already? The 16yr old informed the young man and his family that she was 18yrs of age. Yes, the possibility certainly exists. The laws in Illinois define a "child" to be anyone under the age of 17. The legal age of consent to have sexual contact is 17 and above. If the 16 year old is already a parent but has not been fully emancipated, living wholly or partially independent of her parents, there is certainly a possiblity for the 24 year old to be found in violation of Illinois sex offense laws. It would be highly advisable for the 24 year old to seek legal advice from a lisenced attorney in your jurisdiction.

Is it illegal for an 18 year old to participate in sexual activity NOT INCLUDING sexual penetration in Illinois? is it illegal for a 17 year old to date a 14 year old if they arent having sex? Is it illegal for a girl who is 17yrs old to have a baby by a 29yr old. She gave consent to having sex. From my understanding 17 is legal in Illinois for consent. I would be 2 years older than my other half if we had sex could their parent/legal guardian be able to pursue legal action against me? If so what is the probability that I would get charged?
