age of consent is 18 in the US. I think that has a lot to do with the idea that when you graduate from High School you're an adult. it also has to do with the fact that until you're 18, you're basically the responsibility of your parent, unless you become emancipated and then I'm not sure what the sex laws are at that point.
I don't know many 16 year old boys however, that would be 'mature' enough to pass up a piece of hoo hoo if it was offered, so I don't think that this boy would have been making a rational decision if he's got his groove on, so to speak. For right or wrong, there is a law about it, and a 39 year old woman should know what the law is and abide by it, until the law is changed.
For the record, if a 39 year old man was sleeping with my 16 year old daughter it would have been my husband's mug shot you would have been seeing because he would have killed him.
