Unhealthy Teen relationship

I am at my wits end. My son is 18 and a senior, his girlfriend is 16 and a sophomore. They spend every moment they can with eachother. Her parents support this and have let him sneak over knowing he was not allowed to visit. I think it took a week to pick my jaw up off of the floor.

They both are basically good kids, but both are sneaky and bring the worst out in eachother. They have pressured eachother into some dangerous situations, (Sneaking out at night, etc..) Her parents believe everything she says because she is catholic and knows not to have sex before marriage. (Um, ok?)

The clingy nature of the relationship scares me. He has been accepted to many colleges, and I fear he will stay put, (We are moving)and go to community college part time so he can be around her.

She is so openly rude to us to the point she isn't invited here anymore. We get in "their way"

Any advice?
