Since both parties are minors, it is unlikely the young man would be jailed. That however depends upon state laws and if the two persons involved crossed state lines. There is a chance he could be charged with contributing to the delinquency and/or endangerment of a minor child. There are also zealous PA's who might try charging the seventeen years old as an adult, which would completely alter the situation. Basically it is not likely but not impossible, especially if the girl's parents wished to press any charges that would be applicable under state statutes. Another contributing factor might be if the couple were engaged in a sexual relationship and the state's "age of sexual consent law" is above the girl's age.
