More details to this question:
Parents had my bf arrested on sexual assault charges. I'm trying to emancipate if I can make this happen can I drop charges? Also what else if anything can I do to be sure he stays out of jail. I've contemplated making a statement that everything was consensual and it was an actual relationship to the media. The media is bashing him as a child molester. Does it make it worse that he was married with children and he was Alison my parents employee?

At 15, the law says you cannot give legal consent. In other words, even if you both thought it was consensual, it wasn't, at least in the eyes of the law. Emancipating won't have any effect on his arrest and prosecution, either. The only real issues in that case are (a) can the State prove intercourse; and (b) were you able to give legal consent (17 or older).
