You need to talk to your parents. If they're willing to accept the idea of you getting married, without it becoming a big legal issue, the pedophile may be able to avoid serious jail time. If your dad's attitude is anything like mine would be, lover-boy would need to be on his horse headed for the border right now.

I agree. I'd have called the cops on this guy at the beginning of this.
You can't get married without ur parents' permission. Even if they consent, u should really think about if this is smart. Getting pregnant by a guy who is old enough that he should not be having sex with a child shows bad judgement on both sides, but you don't have to make it worse by getting stuck in a marriage at such a young age. Your parents may be furious, but they will help u take care of the baby so u can go to school and have some semblance of a normal young adult life. Any sense of normalcy is gone if you get married. Then you will have to worry about running a household, dealing with the stress and responsibility of marriage, AND the stress of being a new mother. Focus on the baby. Avoid the marriage problems on top of it.Besides, a 25 year old who has sex with a 17 year old child is NOT husband material. You should really step back and think about this clearly.

Age of consent in TX is 17. Unless u got pregnant while u were still 16, there is no proof of him committing a sex crime.

i did not get pregnant when I was 16 im going to be turning 18 in october so I got pregnant now that im 17
I totally agree with Rob and BrightStar. A 25yo who's with a 17yo is a pedophile. There's something really wrong here.

Think about this carefully. Whatever you decide, make sure that you are able to continue your education. Being a young mother, being a married teenager, and not being educated enough to construct grammatically correct sentences (unless English is a foreign language for you) are THREE BIG STRIKES against you and your future. If you have to choose between marriage and education, pick education.

Whilst this may be wrong and illegal (in your state), age of consent here is 17, and I would be more concerned about the father being a father, if he wants to marry you, this can only be a good outcome (from a bad situation)
