yes they can, as a matter of fact, if she's pregnant right now, I believe the hospital, clinic, or plan parenthood should ask her who the father is and how old is he. Now, she can withhold that information and they can't do anything about it if she defends him. But I do believe the parents have the legal right to persue and file charges, unless other wise. I went thru the same thing with my cousin, she was 15 and her boyfriend was 18, she defended him and her parents did nothing. TX. And yes, it is statutory rape.

You want to know if technically this was statutory rape? I think so ....
