A: Under Ohio law, you lacked the ability to consent to sex when you were 14. It's not legally relevant that you love him. He broke the law by sleeping with you and now has to face the consequences. If he is not under no contact order, you and he can talk and, if your parents don't object, you can even see each other, but he needs to be very careful to comply with all court orders, registration requirements and conditions, etc., or he could end up in a jail for a very long time.
