The majority is 18 for legal consent but in some states if a teen at 17 makes it clear their interaction is legitimately consensual and that there's no signs of abuse it's not pursued. In cases like that the only way to get in trouble is if the relationship started before the minor was of age, then the person in question would be charged and the teen would likely be coerced into seeking therapy of some kind.
