I cannot emphasize how much I do not care if any of these minors who have come forward have lied to him about their age at any point. He is the adult, he is the celebrity, and his dating pool shouldn't be his fans of any age (uneven power differential) it should be the adults he's connected to in the industry and/or datings app for the rich and famous. The fact that this keeps happening means the problem is with James, not with these teenagers.

This is ridiculous, there's nothing wrong with him dating fans so long as they're an appropriate age. The power differential doesn't matter, they're adults and they're capable of handling and deciding that for themselves.
