Turns out it was legal, even though it shouldn't be. Age of consent in NY is 17. The age of consent in Nevada is 16, so he wouldn't be breaking any laws if he did the same as EDC.
I really feel that age of consent laws should be reformed, as they should be some kind of function of the age of the other person. I'd be fine seeing it legal for a 22-year-old and a 16-year-old to get together, but not a 38-year-old and a 17-year-old. If one is a minor and they're far enough apart in age to where they couldn't possibly be considered peers, they shouldn't be having sex.
Still a disturbing story, though, whether true or not. You're too old to be doing with shit like that with 17-year-olds, regardless of gender. I will say that I've always thought OSA tells half truths half lies about his escapades, so who knows if this even really happened.
