The age of consent in Canada is fourteen.
There is no 'five year exception', not in Canada, there is a two year exception for those under 14, that is all.
The only requirements for those over 14 but under 18 is that the older individual does hold a position of authority or have control or influence over the young person in an inappropriate way. The laws are there to protect young people being preyed apon, they are just less focused on the age issue.
Yeah, that seems a little wishy-washy, but that is the way the law is phrased in Canada.
So no, you aren't in any trouble, not in Canada. Careful if you visit him though, espcailly after he turns nineteen. Many states age of consent is 16. ]
