It is not against the law to talk on the phone, but the parent of the 14 year old can do something to stop it like block the number (or if the 14 year old is calling him, take the phone away or restrict her calls to calling ONLY her parents' number.). If there is ANY sexual contact between them, that is absolutely against the law.

If it is sexually based there could be charges and the father could get a retraining order against you.

No, talking on the phone is not a crime, as long as the 19 year old isn't inducing the 14 year old to become delinquent or dependent.

You need to back off. Unless you want to spend a number of years in prison, it is best not for a 19 year old to get involved with a 14 year old, especially when the father tells him to leave her alone. It can easily become a criminal matter.
