Q: Can a male be put in jail for statutory rape if the parents of the minor dont press charges on him?
A: Yes. Prosecutors do not need the permission of non-involved parties in order to file criminal charges.
Q: What if the two were dating for a long time befor he truned 18?
A: This is very relevant. For every sex act before the victim reached the age of consent, there is a possible criminal charge. The bad person could be in jail for a lifetime.
