There is little you can do. If the authorities find out, he can be charged with rape and will be facing very serious charges and lifetime sex offender registration. Questions are usually asked when teenagers become pregnant.
When you give birth, and put his name on the birth certificate, the hospital is likely to report your boyfriend to the authorities, because you are under the laws of New York, not legally able to consent to sexual intercourse. The law is archaic, but such cases are frequently prosecuted, especially when the age difference is more than 4 years. Your parents do not have to initiate the prosecution (and frankly I could envision a Vigilant Prosecutor actually prosecuting them for neglect, since under no circumstances could allowing a 23 year old man have sex with with their 15/16 year old child/daughter, be considered good parenting. Your boyfriend should meet with a criminal attorney NOW to prepare for what's coming.
