Dear US folksies

[innocent_lex]

I'm watching Everwood and am somewhere in S2. Ephram (16) has started dating his sister's babysitter (20). which seems to involve kissing and no sex. Andy (dad) has gone absolutely ballistic about the whole thing, claiming it's a felony. I understand that a felony is breaking a law (a big law?). What I don't understand is what law could possibly be broken here. Can some awfully lovely USA person please explain?

Thanks muchly.

IIRC, the dad's reaction was less about the law and more about being a father finding out his little boy (tm) was not so little after all. Parents overreact at more minor things than this. ;)
