An Arizona man who had sex with a 20-year-old woman when he was just 14, and became a father from the statutory rape, now owes thousands of dollars in child support.

Nick Olivas said he only recently found out he was a dad when the state served him with papers for $15,000 in retroactive child support, he told the Arizona Republic.

"It was a shock," he told the newspaper.

He said the woman took advantage of him as a young teen, but he never considered himself a rape victim. The state considers sex with anyone under 15 years old statutory rape.

He has since had money seized from his account and his wages garnisheed.

He said he's willing to pay support, but not for the time before he realized he had a child.

"Anything I do as an adult, I should be responsible for," he told the paper. "But as a teenager? I don't think so."
