Not sure what the age of consent is in Arizona but aren’t they supposed to be charging the boy with statutory rape?

Now if they are close in age because you might have to also charge the little tramp.

Age of consent is 18 in Arizona, but there is a legal defense against prosecution in this scenario:

It is a defense to a prosecution pursuant to section 13-1405 if the victim is fifteen, sixteen or seventeen years of age, the defendant is under nineteen years of age or attending high school and is no more than twenty-four months older than the victim and the conduct is consensual.

Then the girl should be charged also since the boy was 16

Both kids were 16 years old according to the article. If the boy gets charged with statutory rape, the girl should also be charged with it.
