I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but, here in Ohio...you could be charged with a crime called importuning. Seriously. While it may never come to be, you are an adult and he is a minor.

I JUST dealt with a case, considered taking it up on appeal, involving a 17 year old female and a 21 year old male. The male AND the female had inappropriate text messages...no contact mind you- just texts, and the guy was charged with importuning. This is the lowest level felony. It was reduced to the highest level misdemeanor. He is required to report as a sexual predator/offender 1 time a year for 15 years. No lie. No joke. No kidding. The parents of the girl attended the hearing and asked the judge NOT to find him guilty, that all they had wanted was a slap on the hand.

Big lesson to learn. 15 years is a long time.

The saying, "15 will get you 20" is still alive in well. At a minimum, I would consult with your state laws on contact with a minor, or, wait until he turns 18. Probably pretty conservative, but, to me, not worth the risk.
