What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Utah
I just found out my daughter ( who was 17 at the time and is now 18) had sex with her boyfriend (who was also 17 at the time and is now 18). Do I have any legal recourse against this scum?

Which scum? Your daughter? Nope. She is too old to ground though if she lives at home you can attempt to do so. Why is the boyfriend more scum than your daughter -- if you are referring to the boyfriend? Both are the same age and participated and you don't say that he forced her to do so.
