My boyfriend and I participated in consensual sex, at the time I was 15 and he was 17. I found out that i am pregnant, but when I became pregnant, he was 17 but a few weeks later he turned 18. We are now facing DHR and charges for child molestation. Is there any laws that are able to help the two of us not to face any legal situations unless direly needed?
