Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

concerned
this is the situation......
i know this sixteen year old girl that sneaks out of her bedroom window at around four o'clock in the morning and her eighteen year old boyfriend is waiting for her and he takes her to his parents house for the rest of the night until about six or seven in the morning when he then he takes her back home and she gets back in her bedroom through the window before her parents wake up and notice that she is not sleeping in her room. are there any laws being broken here by the boyfriend that is an adult (he is eighteen, he will be nineteen in august) or the boyfriends parents who are allowing him to take this minor female in to his room at these hours?

Re: concerned

The facts you set forth aren't criminal. They suggest, however, that the young man is having sex with his girlfriend. If that is the case then he is committing what used to be called statutory rape. The law now calls it illegal sex with a minor but it is still a crime. As they used to say on Dragnet, only the name has been changed.
