It is bringing her across state borders that makes it a federal felony. The law is strange, it is fine for a middle aged man to have sex with a 17 year old kid but if he takes a picture of her nude he is a child pornographer and if he takes her across state lines he is sex trafficking both serious felonies. In a nutshell he is screwed.
Possibly, sometimes a screwing will get you a screwing. If he shared the picture there may be a problem, either way I want to see it so I can judge for myself, just for informational purposes mind you.
Fine line between taking/ and coming along. A good shyster defense attorney will muddy this up and will have a victim of a client in no time. Get the popcorn ready.
