Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Seventeen Year Old Girl and Nineteen Year Old Boyfriend.

If a girl who is seventeen runs away with her nineteen year old boyfriend and they stay hidden until she turns eighteen, can her boyfriend still get in trouble?

My daughter keeps telling me that he would be in the clear if they hid until she turned eighteen.
