The legality of paying for intimate acts varies wildly from country to country and even in the USA, from state to state.

It is 100% illegal in ever single state in the US to pay for sex with someone that is below not only the age of majority, but also the age of consent. The minimum age of consent in the US is 14.

More to the point, statutory rape generally requires that the parents are opposed to the sexual acts.

1000% false, in every single case. It may be more difficult to prosecute without parental involvement, but it is not required. Statutory rape is a strict liability crime; no mens rea is required. And bluntly, any prosecutor that failed to deal with an underage prostitution case would lose their job in the next election; "soft on child sex crimes" isn't a winning platform.
