What is the name of your state? Colorado

I know a 19 year old man who is having relations with a 16 year old girl. My question is, how is the Statutory Rape law involved if both parties are consenting?

If she is already 16 years of age, then she is 'of age' to give consent.

Colorado Revised Statutes:
18-3-402. Sexual assault.
(1) Any actor who knowingly inflicts sexual intrusion or sexual penetration on a victim commits sexual assault if:
<snip>
(d) At the time of the commission of the act, the victim is less than fifteen years of age and the actor is at least four years older than the victim and is not the spouse of the victim; or
(e) At the time of the commission of the act, the victim is at least fifteen years of age but less than seventeen years of age and the actor is at least ten years older than the victim and is not the spouse of the victim;

18-3-405. Sexual assault on a child.
(1) Any actor who knowingly subjects another not his or her spouse to any sexual contact commits sexual assault on a child if the victim is less than fifteen years of age and the actor is at least four years older than the victim.

You need to start your own thread.

Kinda depends on which state they aren't doing it in.

Once again, you need to start your own thread instead of digging up one that is 2+ years old.
