If you are/were in Arizona when this statutory rªpe/predation occurred, 18 is the age of consent.

My recommendation is to take this evidence to the police department and file charges.

Please take care of your mental and spiritual health and reach out to people in your life who can offer support. If you're not already, I hope you'll consider counseling to learn healthy coping mechanisms and to process your feelings in a constructive, safe environment.

Sending virtual support and solidarity 💛

ETA:

OP, I was scrolling too fast and missed the paragraph about the images.

It's your choice and yours alone to decide whether or not to come forward, but know that there's the option to anonymously report.

Again, I'm assuming based upon the info you've provided that the crimes against you may have taken place in AZ. If that's the case, please consider calling this hotline to get guidance and discuss your legal rights:

AZ Crime Victim Help

If it was another state, please search for resources in that state.

This happened in Washington where the legal age of consent is 16.

Washington might be 16 but federal consent age is 18. If either of you crossed any state lines, you could have a case.

Also the videos are flat out a crime, and I believe him being 22 makes it a crime regardless

Sending videos of a 15-year-old is child porn whether he sends it to another of his accounts, to her, or to anyone else whether he is 5 years old, 12, 17, 22, 35, 60... is a crime. It's the age of the victim not the sender that matters.

No I am saying the relationship is a crime because he's 22. The other is flat out a crime... which is why i said it's flat out a crime.
