Yes. There is no law against non-sexual relationships between adults and teenagers. Even so, the girl's parents can make trouble for the guy -- especially if their daughter keeps seeing him after they forbid her to do so.

Repost this question in the Virginia Criminal Law forum. Maryland has a statute that prohibits a person from interfering with parents' raising their child.
