While the law may have counted sexual contact when the first started being interested as "Pedophilia", Psychiatrists generally don't. There is a large body of work that separates true pedophilia from what is called Ephebophilia. Peophilia is pre-teen/pre-puberty and Ephebophilia being teens and post-puberty. In fact, among many people diagnosed with Pedophilia, there is a significant drop in interest in subjects once they have reached puberty.

There are three things for them that affect whether it is legal in North Carolina for them to have intercourse:
A) Is he still her coach?
B) Has she reached 16?
C) Are they married?

If C is true, they are fine
If C is false, then there are punishments for both A being true (sex between an student and an educator at the school and/or B being true (sex between someone 13,14 or 15 and someone 6 or more years older (actually a slightly lower punishment if the person is 4 or 5 years older doesn't apply here)
