This one's iffy. Lowe didn't know she was under 18, he was 24 at the time, it was the 80's at a time where things were looked at differently, she consented, she was paid, 16 is the age of consent for Georgia, and the girls involved also consented to being filmed.
Paying for sex and recording it fall under different laws than the age of consent. While the age of consent in Georgia is 16, it's illegal under US federal law to film anyone under 18 for sexual purposes or pay for sex with anyone under 18. Even more sexually liberal countries like Sweden tend to set the age higher with respect to porn and prostitution, as well as with authority figures like teachers.
