This is going to depend on which country you are in. A 17 year old is a minor in some countries and not in others. I think in the US (correct me if I'm wrong) a 17 year old would be a minor but in much of Europe it would not be illegal. Much of Europe has a sexual consent age of 16. Though this is a general rule because for certain sexual acts that age can vary. I know in Holland and Britain sex under the age of 16 is not criminalised if the age between both parties is within a couple of years such as a 16 year old boy and a 14 year old girl, though I think in both countries there is judicial discretion. But I think your scenario would be legal.
