There is nothing that would prevent it. It is becoming more common as children get involved in illegal activities and need to fund them.

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.
