Having sex with a minor is illegal in any state! Pregnant at 16 in California or not, you still have to deal with the fact that you are guilty of a crime. In California, there is a crime of "Unlawful sexual intercourse", which is an act of sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 18 who is not the spouse of the person. As of 2016 in California, any person who commits the crime with a minor not more than 3 years younger or older than the perpetrator is guilty of a misdemeanor - CA Penal Code § 261.5(b). For bigger age differences and for age 14 and below, the crime is considered much more serious and can result in prison time and registration in the sex offender registry.

Not according to age of consent laws.

The physical possibility, however, is another issue entirely.

The age of consent in CA is 18 so if the parents of the pregnant minor wished they could file rape charges against the 19 year old male.

At 16 she is considered a minor in her state (age of consent in Cali is 18) and there is no such thing as parental consent. A minor can not give consent because legally she is not considered mature enough to do so and the parents, or anyone else, also have no right to do so. So yes, both you, and her parents, can get into trouble for this. I'm also quote appalled that parents would plan, by give "consent", to having their 16yo impregnanted at such a young age.
