Could you provide some source as to when the age of consent was changed from 16 to 18 in the US Virgin Island? That would be really illuminating! A link to the Act, an article, something? I haven't been able to find any.
We don't even know how old Giuffre was when the alleged sexual encounter occurred --assuming it did occur. She was born August 9, 1983, in the deposition she doesn't remember the time.
"Sexual assault" is an abused term, it does not make justice to real victims or real assault. Here's Nadine Strossen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadine_Strossen) on the subject:
"So we see the term sexual assault and sexual harrassment used for example, when a guy asks a woman out on a date and she doesn’t find that an appealing invitation. Maybe he used poor judgement in asking her out, maybe he didn’t, but in any case that is NOT sexual assault or harassment. To call it that is to really demean the huge horror and violence and predation that does exist when you are talking about violent sexual assault. People use the term sexual assault / sexual harassment to refer to any comment about gender or sexuality issues that they disagree with or a joke that might not be in the best taste, again is that to be commended? No! But to condemn it and equate it with a violent sexual assault again is really denying and demeaning the actual suffering that people who are victims of sexual assault endure. It trivializes the serious infractions that are committed by people like Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein. So that is one point that he [Stallman] made that I think is very important that I strongly agree with."

No, you are using exaggerations to try to justify an invalid point. Stallman is a scientist, has an inquisitive mind, will question the world, the laws, the establishment, has traveled the world. Petty minds have never understood the language of great minds.
