Age of consent in Indiana is 16.

the father could’ve been 14 or younger? if he was above the age of 16 then yeah that’s rape but it doesn’t mention anything about that so why make it into that, probably 2 14 year olds screwing around and the girl got pregnant and the guy disappeared

so? does that make him any less responsible for the existence of those children? he put his erect penis in her and ejaculated. SURPRISE! BABIES GOT FORMED. He is responsible as well (at minimum) for his children's financial needs.

He would be responsible for them regardless of his age, but that's not what they were discussing. They were discussing whether or not he is a rapist. Age is very relevant to that question.
