A: The 14 year old will not get into trouble as much as the 28 year old. If there is sex, the 28 year old faces very serious criminal charges. Permission for what? The 14 year old does not have the ability to consent to sex.

A: The 14 year old cannot give legal consent. The 28 year old is likely heading to prison sometime soon.
