You can't really do anything, what someone told you is hearsay, so you don't really have anything to report. Now if the person that told you knows for sure they are sleeping together then they can report it to the police for rape because of the age difference. Social Services wouldn't be involved because it is not a caretaker or guardian situation. I used to investigate child abuse and neglect for DHS, this type of situation wouldn't fall into that category. Now if you knew where the girls parents lived and the parents were letting her go over and have sex with this guy then you could report that to DHS because that would be a lack of supervision against the parents. You would have to know they were having sex and you would have to know the parents knew she was having sex and let her go anyway and you would have to have an address where she lives so someone could go investigate the parents. You could call the police and see what they say, but all you really know for sure is that she visits the house. If they guy is known to the police or has a history (with them or possibility of sexual abuse in the past, even just suspician) then they might pay him a visit. They say there are no records of past reports but people do have memories and if any police have worked in that area for awhile and know this guy and has calls before, they might be more willing to make a visit and ask some questions. Or if they go over there and the girl is there then the police can take her home, talk to the parents and they WILL make a report to DHS against the parents if they feel it's necessary. I am guessing the police will tell you there is nothing they can do, but hopefully they might do something. It would be much better coming from the person that actually know they are having sex, that would mean that they have actually seen them having sex or that the guy or the girl have told them they are having sex.
