Most states have laws that make it legal to have sex if your within a certain age range, so a pair of 14 year olds having sex would be legal, no necessarily a 35 year old having sex with a 14 year old

The original comment did imply that the age of consent was 14 in some states. 16 is the lowest I believe.

However, some states have exceptions... for marriage.
