Felonly Carnal Knowledge and.....???

Here's the situation - 15 year old girl confesses after 4 months that she has been sexually active with a 20 year old male, (he was 19 during the first 6 weeks). In a taped interview she stated that even when she'd tell him she wanted to stop he would manipulate her into consent. He would physically abuse her by biting & pinching her until she cried. He also co-erced her into taking nude pictures of herself & sending them to his email, which he forwarded to a 2nd email & still possesses. She states, ''he said he loved me & we were getting married''. Realistically, what will happen & what can we expect to come of this?
