The simple version is: 16 is the general age of sexual consent, but 18 is the age that matters for commercial sexual services. In Queensland, a person under 18 is not an adult for the purposes of sex work, and under s 217A of the Criminal Code, obtaining commercial sexual services from someone under 18 is a criminal offence. So if she was 17, the fact that she offered first does not make it legal for an adult to accept or pay for the offer.
