What it seemed like to me is that they were already committed to their plan, didn't want to reconsider since it was fun and exciting, and the girl might have lied to them or misremembered lying about her age to the victim. If she told the group, "yeah I told him I was 17," then their insane behavior at least makes sense, logically if not morally or ethically.

The age of consent in MA is 16, so unless she claimed to be 15, it doesn't make sense logically either. Not to mention that a 15 year old on a dating site or college campus is going to set off some red flags, so seems an unlikely scenario. Most plausible scenario is that she lied to her friends and the guy showed up fully expecting to meet a college student.
I've never seen anyone outside of a courtroom actually give a shit about any age of consent other than 18. I seriously doubt these kids even know that the age of consent in MA is anything less than 18. I'm also skeptical that it makes much of a difference consequentially anyway.
