Legal or not, some prosecutor somewhere will find a reason to make a big publicity deal out of it and charge you with "contributing to delinquency" or something... you don't really want to be hauled in front of a jury and have some prosecutor talk about your porn businesses and then accuse you of "grooming" this kid... the jury will lock you away and throw away the key.
