Can a 14 year-old’s sexts be used as a defense to statutory rape?

The New York Daily News recently ran a story about the defense being offered in a case of two boys accused of raping a 14 year-old girl in her school bathroom. The defendants, who were 17  and 18 at the time of the alleged rape, have argued pretty convincingly that the sex was consensual.

Not only do they claim the sex was fully agreed to by the girl and, in fact, planned in advance, but they were also able to produce “explicitly compromising images of herself” the girl had sent to at least one of the defendants.
