It is 17 in New York state. Some have remarked that the age of consent in the UK is 16, which is correct, but I'd say it's a glib or crass defence.The internet/google says it's 17?
He was in NYC, knew the laws and as such those laws were upheld. In the UK, consent may be 16, but coercion or victim trafficking are illegal.
Anyone under the age of 18 in the UK, where there's an exchange of money or financial/product gain, is considered to have exploited, and as such illegal.
If Epstein and Co. did such acts in the UK, they would likely be facing a lengthy custodial sentences.
