Could be worse, she might have dated a 50 yr old. Why are you so upset? Jealous maybe?

If she is having sex with him then yes, something can be done. I know in Florida the states that 15 and younger is under the age of consent. So here, if one person is 15 and the other is 16 and they have sex, it is statutory rape and the state comes in and arrests the person who is over the age of 15. So, if they are having sex and it can be proven then my guess is that he can be arrested and charged with statutory rape and in Florida, once the person is convicted they have to register as a sex offender the rest of their lives and cannot live within so many feet of places such as play grounds or schools.
My advice to you would be to talk to the boyfriend and the sister and let them know what can happen if she has sex with him. Tell him that you will alert the authorities and he will be arrested. I know because my daughter is living with a registered sex offender and I have her children ( he is not the father) but the state will not let him anywhere around them. Not that I blame the state.

It depends what the legal age for consensual sex is in the state of California, if it is 14 and he is 17 thats fine, however if it is 16 and they are having sex it is statutory rape no matter if she consents.

being that their age difference is three years...yes
Excerpt from California Penal Code:
261.5. (a) Unlawful sexual intercourse is an act of sexual intercourse accomplished with a person who is not the spouse of the perpetrator, if the person is a minor. For the purposes of this section, a "minor" is a person under the age of 18 years and an "adult" is a person who is at least 18 years of age.
(b) Any person who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor who is not more than three years older or three years younger than the perpetrator, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
(c) Any person who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor who is more than three years younger than the perpetrator is guilty of either a misdemeanor or a felony, and shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by imprisonment in the state prison."

Yes , your mom should tell you to mind your own business and stop being jealous of your sister, she can deal with him if it is a problem in her eyes, but it is not the duty of siblings to play mom and dad to themselves unless their is no mom and dad and then the oldest and or best qualified ought to do so.

until age 18, it is not stagitory. and if the parents wish to sue for rape, the daughter must state that it was indeed rape and not consentual. 14 and 17 are still kids so you are out of luck when it comes to what to do.

As long as they are just dating and not doing anything, what's the problem. Maybe they really like each other and are sharing innocent time together.

Ummm....no. Not in California, unless he is over 18 and is lying about being 17. Then it is statatory(sp?) rape. Besides that no. Except piss you and your parents off.

what do you mean is there something you can do? Smack him on the head for haveing interest in someone that young and then smack her on the head for thinking that it was okay to go out with someone that old. simple as that
