Can parents press charges against a 24 yr old boy when his girlfriend is 18 even though she was 17 when the parents threatened charges?

When you threatened is irrelevant. You can press charges if she was below the age of consent in your state when they had sex. The fact she is an adult now does not make the crime undone. Statutory rape charges usually have a limitation for several years if they even have one. And anyone can report statutory rape, it does not have to be the parents. They report but it's the state that press the charges so they can never be taken back. Once reported it is out of your hands.

If a 15-year-old girl in Georgia is pregnant and her boyfriend is 18-years-old would he get arrested if her parents did not press charges?

He could be brought on criminal charges. Once someone breaks the law, it isn't necessarily the parents that have to decide whether or not to press charges. The prosecutor makes the decision. And parents cannot 'allow' someone to break the law. He could if the wrong person finds out about it like the police. If the parents of the 15 year old don't press charges then maybe he won't get caught. I don't know what the law is in Georgia but it may be possible for him to marry the girl then it will be legal but she would need the parents consent.
