    If you're almost 17 and your boyfriend is 21, can he go to jail if you're pregnant?
    If you're almost 17 and your friend who is 21 got you pregnant, can he go to jail even if your parents know about it?

    It all depends on your location. Different locations have different laws on consentual sex.

    Agree each state in the US has different laws about age ( and the difference in ages) 17 would be legal in some states and illegal in others.

    This is really something he needed to look into before the sex.

    The doctors and hospital is not going to report it,

    OP says she is "almost 17." In other words, she is 16, and presumably was when impregnated.

    "Each US state has its own age of consent. Currently state laws set the age of consent at 16, 17 or 18. The most common age is 16.[43]
    age of consent 16 (31): Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia
    age of consent 17 (9): Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Texas, Wyoming
    age of consent 18 (11): Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin" Ages of consent in North America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
