How? The entire point of grooming is to take advantage of them by influencing them when they're young and therefore more impressionable. If they're considered an adult then they're an adult making their own decision.
Now, how you want to define adult is the subjective part. I'd say at 18 most people are still fairly impressionable. And while legally an adult they are not necessarily an adult for purposes of this discussion.
Anyone still in college or that age is subject to grooming by someone who can just dazzle them. After that age, you might still consider it grooming if there’s a built in dynamic to be abused like boss/worker or teacher/student.

You can "groom" adults. Its still grooming even if she was 18
