The age of sexual consent in Florida is 18.
Sex with someone who is 16 or 17 is a misdemeanor, sex with anyone under 16 can be charged as a misdemeanor OR a felony, at the DA's discretion.
The parents have NO say in whether the DA files charges. If he chooses, he can charge them both. If he files charges against your friend, or his girlfriend, they should get a lawyer. Sex crimes convictions - especially if they involve a minor - can haunt you for the rest of your life, especially since most States have now passed some version of "Jessica's law".

They are both 15; that is not illegal.
