After all of that - what, exactly, is your legal question?

Please read other threads on this forum to get an idea of how to present your question.

The simple answer:

Any adult (18+) have sexual intercourse or committing an act of touchy-feely with a minor (someone UNDER 18) is guilty of a crime. In the case of intercourse, if the difference is more than three years (36 months) then the crime is a felony. If not, then it is a misdemeanor. If any adults responsible for the care of the minor are knowingly permitting this to happen, they, too, can be charged with a crime.
