There is no defense. Even if she lied about her age and even if she admits this in court, it was STILL the guy's responsibility not to have been fooled.

It could be classed as rape if it was the girl who reported him because she is underage.

 Yes.
I believe the minimal age of sexual consent in the USA is 16 in most (34) states. South Carolina's law is 14 for females and 16 for males. It is 18 in some states. So unless the female lives in South Carolina, the male COULD get in trouble only IF someone reported him.
Hope this helps.

If she is legally underage, then yes.
