I don't believe so, since your over 16. Atleast in MA the legal age to have sex is 16, and they can be over 18 with parental consent. But it might be different in different states. Check with a counselor or you can do research on the statutory rape laws in CA. I'm sure you can put him on the certificate without an investigation taking place unless you or your mother presses charges

The age of consent in California is 18. This is from CA:

"What is Statutory Rape?
Statutory Rape is unlawful sexual intercourse with someone
under the age of 18. "
