It's possible the police contacted John Doe which prompted his message. Or like you say, the lawyers may/may not have shared any earlier messages.
I'd also speculate that John Doe seemed anxious and gaslighty...if she went radio silent for so long in the middle of an ongoing convo I think he'd be more likely to give some follow ups to assure her and try to coax a response...but again totally speculating (and it might be similarly odd to let the first message stand without another nudge if it was indeed the first message, but we might be dealing with a master gaslighter here).

Ya, I agree, this doesn't look good for John Doe, unless we aren't getting additional context, consent wasn't there. And ya, it's human nature if someone is nervous about something and it's taking 1/2 hour that at least you say, "Hey you're still there".
Also, unless the videos are clips of other videos, they are very sus as well.
The way that the reporting to the police was talked about also raises questions. It seems that the daughter (I'm assuming an adult, I haven't seen her age, this opinion would change if she was a minor), goes to their mom because they consented the night before and now feel like it was a mistake. Then the mother decides on her own to report it to the police without the consent of the daughter? That is messed up and may rise to criminal activity.
Everything about the text messages seems to be missing context.
