Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

adult dating minor

I have a friend whose 18 year old daugter went out on a date with a 15 year old boy. No sexual activity has taken place, neither of them feel anything is wrong with this but both mothers are beside themselves. Exactly what does the law state about this kind of activity?
