That's easy, we arrest him, publically humiliate him, threaten him and have a witch-hunt. Never ever consider the validity of the sole witness. It's ever so much fun. Oh, wait; that's what you want to do.
How about we establish whether there is any evidence that a crime was actually committed? The charge is "Statuatory Rape". Then, let's see if he knew the 'victim's age; oh wait, she admitted that she told him that she was 19. So, what do you have left? Oh, yeah; her word against his as to whether anyting sexual really took place; and no evidence to show either way.
How does "He said, She said" work in every other case in court, in the US? If you don't have evidence, you don't have a crime.

Doesn’t seem like anything will stop this guy!
He would eventually plead guilty to the charge in May 2009 and received 10 years’ probation for the assault, and was fined $2,500. But court records show he violated terms of the agreement that September. Court records show he came in contact with a child under 17, failed a polygraph test, attempted to move out of the county and was “unsuccessfully discharged from sex offender treatment.” Matter of fact, Armstrong’s been in and out of Dallas County courts since early October, when, on October 10, a judge denied his attempts to revoke community supervision.

Again: She went to the cops and said she slept with the guy! She told the cops she was 14! If she did or didn’t tell the guy she was 19,(And if she lies THAT much,who knows?),the law says he’s guilty anyway! Hell! If she went to a bar with a fake ID and got served,it’s the bartender they take away in cuffs!Fair or unfair,that’s the law! If we don’t agree with the law,it’s up to us as voters to try and get the laws changed!Beyond that,what else can be done?
But again,it looks like he’s in enough trouble now that they find out he hasn’t registered as a sex-offender. Looks like he might not find himself in a position to be accused of ANYTHING else for a spell....
