I live in Ohio and my boyfriend was in a car with our friend and our friend was driving without a license and got caught. I don't know what the consequences, if any, will be for my boyfriend. Does anybody know? We're minors.

in short, no. There are no consequences for being in the car with someone who does not have a license. However the police should take all of your information and run a check against their database. If you are "wanted" for anything, then the police can either take you in to custody right there, or send you a citation in the mail... but in this case, everything should be ok. The driver will have to pay a fine anywhere from $100 to $500 dollars and the judge reserves the right to suspend their driving privaleges until the age of 18 (if he is a minor). The good thing about No O.L. charges though is they don't count as a "moving" violation that would effect anything like insurance rates, if and when your friend gets a license. Unless the car is stolen like the other guy said. Then everyone would have been taken into custody right there.

Not normally. If he didn't come home with a citation or summons he is probably in the clear. Now if it goes beyond the kid driving without a license pleading guilty, he may get called into court.
They probably took his ID to check it and returned it. Which is standard.

no longer except the automobile is in his call. otherwise it is your accountability. yet no license oftentimes means no insurance, no tags, no count if it is your motor vehicle that's, merely no longer a sensible theory over all, you dont have a license for a reason so DONTpersistent.

Oh, the multiple and various inaccuracies.
Any time you are WITH someone who is breaking the law, you can be charged as an accomplice in some way or another. Even "contributing to the delinquency of a minor", the flimsiest of all criminal-code charges, could be pinned on him.
It has everything to do with how backlogged the courts are, and how full the jails and probation officers case-loads are, whether or not anybody will actually TRY to pin something on you, but, believe me, even in Ohio, sometimes that's exactly what they do, if they feel the urge.

If a passenger in the car has a valid DL, they could be charged with 'Allowing Unlicensed Driver to Operate Vehicle'.

It depends was it your boyfriends car? if so yes he will face charges the same as the person driving, if on the other hand it was the unlicensed person's car or someone else owned the car, that individual will be held responsible for allowing an unlicensed driver to drive their car. They could lose their license for as long as the person who was actually driving.
