Yes. Sorry, but it is illegal for an adult to have sex with a minor. In Ohio, 16 is old enough to give consent to have sex, but the other person can not be:
1) A person of trust like a teacher, coach, etc.
2) Over the age of 18
3) More than 2 years difference
This is considered statutory rape if the parents decide to press charges. You're talking about a high school sophomore and a college grad. The age difference is big, but the maturity level is completely different which is why these laws are in place.
