Simple: Does the 14 year old want to press charges, or is he fine with the whole thing?
Well his
parents seem to want to press charges, and he is still a minor (for the next 4 years), and an adult having sex with a minor is illegal, so it doesn't actually matter if he's fine with it because both his legal guardians and the entire legal system
aren't fine with it. Adults have to protect their underage children even when the children tell them not to; for all we know he'll look back at this a decade later and thank his dad for standing up for him even if he's sulky about it now.

You know, if they were both then years older, no one would give a shit. She'd be 30 and he'd be 24. Frankly, I'm bothered by shit like this. Rape and sexual assault are serious, emotionally scarring crimes that cam at times break a person's spirit. Rape is the complete denial of personal sovereignty and denial of identity.
Two young fucking is not rape. This appears to be nothing more then an unconventional couple. Let them go and live their fucking lives.
An adult having sex with a child is actually rape, and yes it's serious. If the babysitter waited until he was old enough to consent then it would be no problem -- but instead she gained the parents' trust, snuck alcohol into the house to give to a child, and screwed an underage boy. That's not "unconventional" that's criminal and abusive. And really, let them "go live their lives"? This kid will be living at home with his parents for the next four years -- do you really imagine they would be cool with him dating a pedophile? Or letting her into the house at all, after what she did? She shouldn't be dating anybody; at
best she has terrible judgement and total disrespect for his family, and at worst she is a rapist who has been grooming this teenage boy under the guise of babysitting him.
