It never gets reported and the teacher gets her rocks off to little johnny's tutoring. I have a feeling that if all the instances of this were reported, we'd see quite a difference in the stats and that it would be closer to 50/50.

This may be true among the subset of offenders who have sex with adolescents and teenagers, but certainly not true within the larger context of those who sexually offend against minors as a whole. Absolutely not. So I don't think your claim of being closer to 50/50 is qualifiable in any meaningful way.
