Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

If a 17 year old female has intercourse with, has a kid by, or is in a general relationship with a male who is 21 years of age, is there any legal wrong-doing under this assumption?

Suppose the parents of the female wanted to incorporate charges on the male for any one of these reasons?

What are the legal outcomes of this situation?
