Sec. 520d.

(1) A person is guilty of criminal sexual conduct in the third degree if the person engages in sexual penetration with another person and if any of the following circumstances exist:

After age 16, concensual sex is permitted. If your girlfriend doesn't understand what consent is, she might consult a dictionary.
