A very classic relationship. A lesser female (black, secretary) is naturally attracted to a man of higher social status (white, senator/her boss). It doesn't get much more natural than this.

If she's underage how is the guy not serving time for statutory rape?

In August 2013, police found Morrissey in his Henrico County home with a 17-year-old girl, now his wife, who was at the time an employee of his law office. Morrissey, the girl, and her mother denied any impropriety. A Henrico County court convened a grand jury to investigate a possible improper sexual relationship between Morrissey and the girl.[23] On June 30, 2014, Morrissey was indicted on felony charges of indecent liberties with a minor, possession and distribution of child pornography, and electronic solicitation of a minor, in addition to a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, for which conviction he served three months of a 12-month sentence.

It does look like they were going for antebellum period costumes

Do you know who found them? Sounds a bit like someone tried to slander that man.

The photographer should have placed them 10cm further to the left from his point of view.

Agreed.
