The laws vary by state and country. But in almost all of them, the one being under the age of 16 and the age difference being 7 years, would result in criminal charges against the 21 year old. It could result in prison.

Probably not, since the age of consent in most places is 16, but the laws are different in each state. However, if it wasn't consensual he could go regardless of age.

It depends on the state. In most states the age of sexual consent is 16 (in some it's higher). If an adult has sex (even if it wasn't 'forced') with someone under the age of sexual consent then they have committed a crime. They can be charged, tried, and convicted. In the case of a child, it would be very easy (with a DNA test) to prove beyond any doubt that this man is guilty. Even if the girlfriend or her family didn't want to press charges, the state can still chose to press charges.

NO. he may go to juvy but its not likely. even though the age of consent is normally 16 for most states if the father is 17 at the time of intercourse the most any judge will do is fine him.

Yes. Parents can not give consent for their minor to have sex. Only the law applies.

Depends on what state you are. There are states with age of consent law that has close in age exemptions but at 14, they are few. Most likely will this be sexual abuse.
