    I do not think that he should go to jail if the two of you did not have sex. but, I think as a MAN the two of you do not have any common interest. No matter want he said. he may have a car, job money but really what can he do with you. A MAN at that age is looking for much more than a girlfriend who can not have sex,smoke, drink, clubs, stay out late, spending the night out, Are u having oral sex? be honest now. THAT IS A LEGAL REASON TO SEND HIM TO JAIL. As a MAN he should be looking at women 18 or older. just someone that cares.
