I agree. There is an issue of abuse of position, there is an issue of the morality of the partnership, and the contrasting desire argumenst of freedom and protection.
What the woman looks like is not an issue.
And not like anything like this happened to me, but if I was that age, in a situation like that, and I had been a willing (and underage) participant.. no way would I be talking about it, and no way would I testify... I'd go up in court and say anything they heard I said, I made it up, it was a fantasy, it was all lies, and create a confusion so the truth couldnt come out.
But the teachers in these situations do have a responsibity not to take advantage of kids who are impressionable . People grow up at different rates, and the line between when someone should be free and someone should be protected could vary by situation and person, but you have to draw an absolute line somewhere.
