"It doesn't matter whether the relationship was approved by the girl's parents or whether she consented to appear in the picture," State's Atty. James Glasgow said.

While some legislation dealing with age of consent sets a hard and fast age under which sexual relations are prohibited, some jurisdictions have included exceptions to this. The exception can take the form of a defence at trial on the grounds of the close age of the participants, or can be an actual close in age exemption (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent#Close_in_age_exceptions) in the law negating any charges.
