1. On why the FBI is investigating (as 17 is Louisiana's age of consent)

From the article:


The FBI is investigating Yenni’s behavior for reasons other than the age of the teen (as noted earlier, 17 is the age of consent).

According to one expert, the FBI may charge him with a federal law that aims to protect children under 18 from “obscenity.” This law prohibits “the transmission of any comment, request, suggestion, proposal, image, or other communication which is obscene or child pornography, knowing that the recipient of the communication is under 18 years of age, regardless of whether the maker of such communication placed the call or initiated the communication.”
