What are you doing? Are you going to the police station and confessing to a crime? Why don't you marry the girl and give the child a proper father?

If she was 16 when you got her pregnant it is statutory rape. You may not be charged, that is usually done by the parents. You may not have to get arrested or do any jail time, but you should not talk to the police. You should get a lawyer and he will talk to the police and protect you.

In Michigan none since the age of consent here is 16.

Because I do not know the state from which you posed the question isn't possible to enter it. In Michigan the age of consent is 16.

You have not committed any sort of criminal sexual assault because she is more than sixteen years old. What other crime could be charged does not come to mind immediately, but do not relax completely because there might be some other charged based on her being less than 18. It just does not come to mind.

In Utah, it is not illegal for a 21 year old to have sex with a 17 year old. Unless there are other circumstances to the pregnancy, you should not get any time in jail if the sex act(s) happened in Utah.

That depends on whether it is filed as a misdemeanor or a felony.
