First sequence in the film is Big Mabel finding Newt hurt in the middle of a storm. She brings him into a shelter barely conscious, comes on to him, strips him and herself. Then the film cuts away. Hard to tell the actual age difference. Newt is 15. Big Mabel works at the brothel and is at least a few years older.
