Shure you do.
However, I do have to ask why he simply accepted her word for it instead of taking responsibility for his own actions and insisting on, at the least, using a condom. Seems like the smart thing to do in an era of such dangerous sexually transmitted diseases.
You were unsympathetic to the girl who used birth control, yet still got pregnant, yet you expect sympathy for this young man who wasn't even aware enough to protect himself from, at the very minimum STDs?

Boy do you misunderstand. I have no sympathy for him at all; I told him that believing a girl was madness in the legal climate today. She has all the cards.
If she lies and says that she is 18 when, in fact, she is 17 then he can go to prison as if he raped the whole god damned third grade. If she wants to keep the baby then he must support it. If she wants to abort it then it will be killed.
In this case he married another girl who already had a child and the courts went easy on him to save the marrigage and family. All the children lost; and all the "adults" need to be wipped.
But, at least no one died.
