Now, all of the above being said, from my experience with teenagers and young adult volunteers, it is completely possible that while legally she is 100% responsible, that she is no more emotionally mature than he is. From everything I've observed and also read from developmental experts, emotional adulthood is happening later and later. I read fairly recently that the average age of true emotional adulthood may be as high as 25 these days.

I think it's fairly obvious by what we know that she is not quite a well adjusted, mature person.

That being said there are many not adjusted, immature 20's that don't have sex in cars with 14 yr olds while a cousin drives.
