It looks legal to me.
16-6-3.
(a) A person commits the offense of statutory rape when he or she engages in sexual intercourse with any person under the age of 16 years and not his or her spouse, provided that no conviction shall be had for this offense on the unsupported testimony of the victim.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (c) of this Code section, a person convicted of the offense of statutory rape shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than 20 years; provided, however, that if the person so convicted is 21 years of age or older, such person shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than ten nor more than 20 years; Any person convicted under this subsection of the offense of statutory rape shall, in addition, be subject to the sentencing and punishment provisions of Code Section 17-10-6.2. (c) If the victim is at least 14 but less than 16 years of age and the person convicted of statutory rape is 18 years of age or younger and is no more than three years older than the victim, such person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
This is the Georgia code.

well, if he is 16 and she is 20 , the parents have to consent to the sexual acts, although the gap is 2 years so your 20 yr old friend might want to wait until daddy is 18 to add him on the birth certificate

There was seduction because the other party was just 16. The pregnancy will result to an illegitimate child since it will born outside of marriage which cannot be contracted by both because the other one is just 16 years old.

She could go to Prison and have to report as a sex offender if the parents of the boy press charges against her and take her to court ,she will be charged with statuary rape, she will also be considered a sex offender.and must register.

statutory rape unless you find out the age of consent and they are older.
