If she was 17 she was not a minor under the law. At 17, she can be charged as an adult for crimes and the age of consent in Michigan is 16. Unless it was not consensual, there is no crime.

The criminal statute of limitations is passed, however, even if it wasn't, your daughter, being 17 at the time, it is doubtful that the case would have been filed. However, from a civil standpoint, the father is responsible for child support and costs of birth. Your daughter should consider pursuing this individual for financial assistance

To get child support there is not. In Michigan the age of consent is 16 and so there would be no criminal charges.

The age of majority is 16. However, since he was her manager, he was in a position of power. However, after 4 years, I think you missed the opportunity to do anything. Contact the police department about the matter.
