Original Note:
Headline is misleading. In all 50 US states, including Massachusetts, a relationship between a 21-year-old and a 15-year-old is definitionally non-consensual by law, therefore it would be more accurate to describe the man as a pedophile and the girl as his victim. https://thefernandezfirm.com/consent-laws/ https://www.amendolallc.com/faqs/age-of-consent-and-sexual-assault-defense-in-ma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_the_United_States
