Answer: yes

Step-by-step explanation:

An individual who is 19 years old or older has sexual contact with someone who is younger than 16 but older than 12 has committed sexual abuse. It is illegal for anyone to have sex with a minor, unless they are that person's spouse. If it was consensual that would be a different story but only if the miner said it was consensual and didn't bring up any charges.
