What happens if an 18 year old boy gets a 15 year old girl pregnant in Scotland?

Home More advice Love & Relationships

I am writing an essay about underage pregnancies in the UK but mostly in Scotland. I know a few girls that got pregnant when they were under 16 and none of the boys got charged or went to jail, so I've got a question: What would happen if an 18 year old boy got a 15 year old girl pregnant but she turned 16 before having the baby? As I said, I am confused and really not sure how the law works in Scotland because: *A 14 year old girl got pregnant by a 16 year old boy, no one got charged and nothing got said, *A 15 year old girl got pregnant by a 19 year old boy, who turned 20 by the time she had the baby. He didn't get charged or went to jail either?

So if you could just tell me what would happen if an 18 year old boy got a 15 year old girl pregnant what would happen? Or how does the law work, etc.? It would be really helpful. Thank You
