I haven't read up closely on DC's laws, but I believe the discrepancy between the age of consent being 16, and the laws against soliciting a minor, exists with a view to protecting 16-to-18-year-olds from creepy old men (like Foley), while not making it illegal for them to have sex with other 16-to-18-year-olds.
