It's called Statutory Rape, punished by a stay in prison and having to register as a Sex Offender for the rest of his life. Call the police. Call her parents. Call CPS.

Her parents can't "give permission" for their daughter to be raped!:rolleyes:

I gave you the wrong information...If the bf is within 4 years of her than it ia not illegal, but I am sure if the parents knew about it they wouldn't be happy.

Who are you in all this?

a close friend, so even though hes 19 or 20, they have sex and the parents dont know, then theres no case even though shes underage?

AOC in Pa is 16 and unless he is at least 4 years older there is nothing LEGALLY wrong. If you are hoping to break them up so that you have a shot with her...it will back fire on you.

And which is it? 19 or 20?

YOU never had a case...Law enforcement may have had their been an issue, but no there is no "case"...Although if her parents knew about this they may have recourse to keep him away from her...

All the three year (as opposed to four year) difference means is that stat rape is off the table. That does NOT mean there are no other charges that he can get hit with.

Your not in a legal position to press any charges. The only real way he can get hit with other charges are if the girl or her parents take some legal action to prevent him from contacting her, and he violates that. You should stay out of it. Tell her parents if you wish, but legally you have nothing.
