More details to this question:
My cousin is 16 and she has a long distance relationship with a 27 year old guy who lives in California and she has parental consent. There’s no sexting or inappropriate pics being sent or anything like that happening but I was just wondering if he’ll get in trouble for being with her.

16 is the age of consent and while there relationship is baffling, as long as there is parental consent, there will likely be no trouble...in Connecticut. I do not know the laws in California. I would advise that they should both find more age appropriate people to see, she being a child and the 27 year old being an adult who should be able to find appropriate company that has hopefully finished growing and going through puberty at the very least.
