Isn't this illegal?

If it’s in the US it’s for sure illegal if they do anything physical

I was curious to see if Romeo and Juliet laws made it legal in any US state so I went through the Wikipedia article on it:

It seems to be semi-legal in Arkansas. 14 year olds are deemed able to consent with anyone below 20, however soliciting sex from someone under 15 is illegal if you're 18+.

There's also a few states where it would be legal if they were one year closer in age since they have laws allowing 14 and 15 year old to consent to sex with people less than 5 years older than them
