penetration, not intercourse. why is he referring to a law about having sex with children as intercourse

Good point, "inter-" implies a mutual exchange.

"Intercourse" is just a dry, technical sounding term for "sex". 15-year-olds certainly do this, as much as we hate it.

Yes, when they are close to the same age of course. Otherwise it's not really mutual because of the age/power dynamic, and using that word is implying the wrong thing. It's a euphemism trying to hide the nature of the relationship.

Yes, but "intercourse" implies nothing beyond PIV and some movement. It doesn't imply anything about age or consent or anything else. It's a word that can be used when someone has sex with a horse. So your concern is unwarranted here.
