Having sex with a minor is a crime, regardless of coercion, because a minor is not capable of giving consent to sex with an adult, because of both cognitive differences and power imbalances.
If someone Minsky's age went out and started dating and having sex with high schoolers, he would go to jail. Period. Regardless of the exact social dynamics.

Remember that before making absolute statements about mental powers. By the way, coerced sex (sometimes rape, sometimes assault, sometimes pimping, in some places prostitution) is illegal among adults too. You can keep it extra illegal for minors. Minority should not be an absolute but treated as a high bar. (The younger, the higher.) Unfortunately legislatives are black and white in most countries, and people accede to it.
