You can attempt to raise the issue with the police, but only after they have reviewed the matter and if the district attorney finds criminal activity will charges be brought. If the sex was consensual between the two parties, both are technically minors, so statutory rape would not apply and there would be little grounds to prosecute.

Doubtful You can report it to the police, the DA's office, Child Protective Services, but you have to have proof and I doubt that anyone will be interested.

You do not press charges, rather you report to the police and/or local prosecutor. They make the determination as to whether or not the charges will actually be brought.

Yes. You need to check the age limits for statutory rape in your state, but I assume that age 14 is under the limit in your state. Call the police department and make a complaint.
