I have a 17 year old brother and his 15 year old girlfriend is pregnant. At the time of getting pregnant she was 14 and he was 16. She had to go to court over something and the judge asked if she was pregnant and she said yes. They took my brother to court and is being charged (as a juvenile) with Lewd & Lascivious Battery which is a 2nd degree felony.
She consented and actually lives in my mother's house (my mother has legal custody because her parent's can't raise her) with my mother and my brother. She is not pressing the charges and neither are her parents, the judge just saw she was pregnant and now the state is going after him.
My question is this... I found the sentence for adults charged with this... but does anyone know the possible sentence when being charged as a juvenile or where I could find this? I've tried google to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciate. Him and my mother can't stop crying because they have absolutely no clue what type of sentence he is facing.
Thanks again.
p.s.
I warned him about this a year ago when they started dating
