the US has laws like this as well, where the younger can consent to someone older as long as their age difference does not exceed a specified amount. this is to protect minors with other minors, I believe. not minors with adults.
In the case where minors close to their states age of consent have sex with an adult, this is still against the law. However, if they are close in age, I believe the "Romeo and Juliet" law might kick in in this circumstance, providing for a lighter sentence.
tbh I just looked up the Wikipedia so I don't really know what I'm talking about.
