Yes and please do but make sure you have the full name(if you can remember) and description ready and some evidence if possible because if there is no evidence the case may take a lot longer.
Also ensure that the abuser is still alive.

When you threatened is irrelevant. You can press charges if she was below the age of consent in your state when they had sex. The fact she is an adult now does not make the crime undone. Statutory rape charges usually have a limitation for several years if they even have one. And anyone can report statutory rape, it does not have to be the parents. They report but it's the state that press the charges so they can never be taken back. Once reported it is out of your hands.
