You should have considered the consequences before you pressed charges. The young man will have a hard time getting a job and a residency if he was indeed charged and convicted (Prob now a sex offender) Your daughter having sex with a older man was consensual (only a couple of months make it legal or not) and was old enough to make a decision to have sex and now she has to deal with the consequences of not having her babies father in her life, because of you. What the young man did was stupid, they dont call it jail bait for a reason. The bottom line is that he will almost never find appropriate work, will have a hard time finding a place to stay (society doesnt rent to those convicted of sex crimes) and your grandchild will grow up, maybe knowing you or probably not. Your daughter was not a victim of a crime but a voluntary partner in a consensual act (older or not) and she is aware of that. She is also aware that you took someone from her against her will (which should be a crime) Preventing, for the time being of the father to be there and starting a cycle of life that is probably going to be repeated. Im not saying you should be ashamed of your actions, but you sow what you reap.
