If your parents decide to press charges, or if anyone in your community finds out and alerts the police there is nothing you can do to keep him from being prosecuted. He committed statutory rape and if he is convicted, which is extremely likely, he will have to be a registered sex offender. The idea of statutory rape may be silly in certain cases, but it's a law for a reason. Ultimately, he should have known better.

As far as your pregnancy goes, you can try to hide it, but pretty soon you're going to have a baby. Have you thought about what you're going to do then?

If you didn't use protection when you had sex you weren't being smart. Theb ottom line is that yes, there is the potential for him to prosecuted for statutory rape and if it comes to that there is nothing you can do about it.
