Legally, they have a case for statutory rape, which is just rape by technicality. Being under 18, since you're not legally an adult, it's rape by lack of the ability to consent.
It's not aggravated, forced sexual contact, and it's not drug or alcohol induced, unless they have evidence of that. They don't have a case for battery. I'm surprised they can even hold her for it.
