She can be facing up to five years for carnality knowledge of a juvenile. Your son lacks legal capacity to consent to this sexual act

Two things. First the child is his and he will be financially responsible for the child when he turns 18 unless the child is adopted by others. Second the mother committed a crime by sleeping with him. He is too young to give consent.

The State can press charges because he is less than 17 year old, and they are more the three years between their ages.? The only thing you can do is offer financial support of the child and to let anyone who is investigating know about the true status of their relationship.
