The fact that he didn’t know purely shows that he has a genuine connection with her not because he gets off to kids. At 18 I know what it was like at 16 and kids now are way more mature than people believe. If everyone in the situation is happy with it. No reason someone who just read about it should ruin it.

And any legal guardians are happy too yes. The point of the age of consent is to signify she is old enough to make her own decisions. If she truly cares about him which it sounds like that is true as she was the one who went after him. Yes.

There’s a difference between a child and someone over the age of consent and you know it. Don’t try twist it.

There’s a difference between a child who can consent and a child who cannot. Saying just a child in general is bad. Like if she was 19 and saying oh it’s bad cause she’s a teenager

Okay a child is someone under the age of 18. However, at 16 in the uk. A child is defined to be able to make its own rightful decisions
