For context, that could be a sophomore in high school dating a sixth-grader.
I hope you're just old and have forgotten how big the difference is between 12 and 15.
Edit: And if someone can't legally consent to sex, sex with them is legally rape. Take it up with the legal system.
All of that is correct and from what the article says he's a real shitbag, who used violent language to coerce someone to sex. That's definitely rape. I was interested what the legal system actually says, because 15 year olds also cannot consent to sex. However, many states use an age of 14 as barrier. Anyone under 14 is protected even against someone just 3 years older. So it sounds like this asshole can be tried.
