There may be some issues here that need to be sorted out. If the police reported him a minor by name that might be of some issue, especially if the charges we based upon a later disclosed fabricated claim. The disclsoure to a co-defendant is likely of little consequence as both know who was or was not involved. The bigger issue may be a claim against the 17 y/o for the false police report/malicious prosecution type claim but it may not be usefull financially.
