I don't see how you can prevent it, but here is some information that you might want to keep in mind.  In the state of NY, if he has sexual intercourse or other sexual acts with someone under the age of 17, he can be prosecuted for statutory rape.  A girl under 17 has not yet reached the age of consent.  If the girl is under 13, this would be a first degree sexual offense.  If she's under 15, this would be a second degree sexual offense.  You can report him to the police if you suspect this is occurring.
