I remember we had a coworker (in his late 20s or early 30s) gushing on how he celebrated his gfs 18th birthday. Then we all started doing the math when earlier he had mentioned they had been together for 2 years.

Except not a convicted rapist.

Can't convict someone if you never prosecute them.

Can't convict someone if their actions don't break the letter of the law either

The New York Penal Law Sections 130.25, 130.30 and 130.35, define statutory rape. This crime is defined as having consensual sex with a minor that is under the age of 17 years old.
