    Yes, he could be charged with a felony, if the age of consent in your jurisdiction is 16 or greater.

    What state or country are you in?

    Although gentle, he is still a pedophile and a child molester. And although you think you gave your consent, actually under the law (assuming the age of consent in your jurisdiction is 16) you were incapable of consenting.

    Yes at 15 there are only a few places where it is not rape. He could be arrested and set to prison and be a registered sex offender the rest of his life.

    Also at 16 there are many places where it is still rape.

    But the good news, you will be considered the victim and he will be considered a pediphile who used and tricked you.
