Although she is a minor for civil purposes, she has reached the age of consent. If talking with your daughter, or counseling, is not helping, discuss with local law enforcement about sending a trespass warning, to at least keep this guy off of your property. You might also consider consulting with an attorney, to see if your situation will qualify tor a restraining order, again, at least against your property. Although it may drive her to rebel, it might scare this guy off.
