Age of consent in a lot of places is 16, including here.
But sometimes that comes with a caveat of an age difference that he most certainly exceeds.
So the only saving grace he would have assuming any exchange of pictures would be if it's not illegal there to have nudes from someone under the age of 18.
Here, even if you are over the age of consent but under 18, that is considered child pornography and carries a pretty hefty penalty (though in a weird way it also often penalizes the child, who they're supposed to be protecting so I guess our laws are far from perfect there too)
TL;DR: Don't know much about it, but people who are creeps like him don't usually stop at just physical acts, pictures are often involved and depending on UK law / how they want to use the law he could still be snagged for that.
Age of consent doesn't matter when you've been trafficked. But if the person you've been trafficked to doesn't know you're being trafficked and thinks you're voluntarily consenting, they haven't knowingly engaged in a crime.

Age of consent doesn't matter when you've been trafficked. You're not considered in any position to negotiate for yourself fairly. See Girls Do Porn.
That's true, if you can prove trafficking

You don't need to know goods were stolen before you commit the offense of handling them, the phrase due dilligence exists for a reason.
