Original Note:
The note uses the term “underage,” implying statutory rape. While I would agree that adults should not be in relationships with high schoolers, the age of consent in New York (where they were at the time) was 14. Value judgments can be made in the comments. https://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/new-york-age-of-consent-lawyers.html
