A teen who got an underage girl pregnant while they were living in his car on the streets has pleaded guilty to carnal knowledge.
The 18-year-old, who was 17 at the time, had been communicating with the 15-year-old girl on the internet but she agreed to go with him when he turned up at her home late last year.
The pair was together for about seven months mostly on the streets around Maroochydore.
The girl, who terminated the pregnancy, went back to her parents after the teen punched her repeatedly and caused injuries. He was given nine months with immediate parole for the assault.
He was sentenced to 18 months probation and ordered to complete 180 hours of community service for carnal knowledge.
