    If he were 19 and they were having sex for free this wouldn’t be a big deal. He’s paying and more than twice her age. Especially because he’s a high profile public figure, additional scrutiny should be applied, including background checks. The fact that he finds himself in bed with a 17 year old who needs to pay for braces just proves that the allegations of FSB/Mossad/Epstein kompromat are a credible. What would these idiots be willing to do to ensure their actions aren’t made public?

      Oh, I totally agree. I was thinking in general terms, like a 25 year old having sex with someone who told them that they were 19, but actually being 17. I just didn’t realize that the over age person would be liable even if the minor used a fake ID to pretend that they were of legal age.
