This is a matter of state law in the US, isn't it? In most states the age of
consent is at least 16, but I believe that there are some states in which
consent can be given by a person at least 14 but under 16, as long at the
other person is not 18 or older. Googling this, I found it to be the case in
Indiana, for instance:

I have not seen the Times legal report either. However, accepting your
narrative and juxtaposing it with USA law I can assure you (after 38 years
of practicing criminal law) that a child under the age of (in this country)
16 cannot, absolutely, positively, end of story, give consent to sexual
goings on.
