The age of consent in Texas is 17 {Texas Penal Code Section 21.11}. However , "...It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this section that the actor...was not more than three years older than the victim and of the opposite sex...(and) did not use duress, force, or a threat against the victim at the time of the offence" and is not a registered sex offender {Section 21.11(b)}.
Rog would not have fallen under any of the exceptions and would be guilty of criminal conduct IF he bumped uglies with her the first 2 years he knew her.
