You wouldn't be pressing charges. That is a decision made by a prosecutor. You could certainly contact law enforcement about your concerns and things would go from there.
I understand he did wrong but he is only a child too and I’m scared of what the court decides. I feel like I need a lawyer maybe?

Yes, it could be. Are you still reporting to him? What the extent of the sexual harassment? Consider a consultation for a case evaluation.
