What this means in this case that if the couple lives in a state where the age of consent is 16 that he/she could get into trouble should he/she have sex with the 14 year old. In all cases 14 is under the age of consent no matter what state they live in. Yet, if the couple lives in a state where the age of consent is 18 then the 16 year old is also under the age of consent and that limits the liability.
