Generally agree that the terminology is often different. I think Cody Wilson got put on the sex offender registry after he had sex with a 16 or 17 year old who presented a fake ID to a sugar daddy website, which was "verified" as being an 18 year old ID. So she verbally and via fake ID lied about being 18, consented, and even was acting in a "professional" capacity seeking out this activity. Cody was still convicted as a registered sex offender despite his best attempts to follow the of-age law and due diligence. With strict liability, someone can look 18 and even show you an ID+passport and you can do mountains of due diligence but it is not a defense against the conviction. Pretty crazy we have people on the registry because of that IMO. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cody_Wilson#Felony_conviction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cody_Wilson#Felony_conviction
