People have pointed this out already, but Neal didn't statuatory rape Emma, as they were in a state where 17 is the legal age to have sex. I'm not going into to enter into the debate about statutory rape, but I thought the age of consent in Oregon was 18, not 17? We don't know that Neal and Emma had sex in Oregon. Most likely the writers intended for her to have sex in a state where 17 is legal.
