No, no, no there is a difference when an 65 yo man marries a 30 yo and a 40 yo teacher marrying a 16 yo high student. I really don't care about age gaps either but at least the person in question should be an adult. I don't consider a 16 yo girl in high school living with her parents as being an adult. Furthermore, the person was also her teacher! There is no way to justify or rationalize this. This is wrong! Shame on this girl's parents and shame on this teacher. This is not a 24 yo Playboy bunny marring a 60 yo.
In this particular case, did you/have you noticed the date on the original post? 6/2007? But I agree with you on the rest of your statement.
My grandmother got married at 14, and had 8 children.
Why doesn't everyone go to the cemetery and look at just how many large age gap marriages there were and how many lasted a long time back 100years ago.

Wuchae married Hager in Brunswick County on Monday, according to a marriage license.
Hager's parents, Dennis and Betty Hager, said they did all they could to keep the couple apart after noticing a deeper-than-usual friendship forming between them. The parents said they tried to intervene by talking to the coach, going to school officials, pleading with police and sheriff's office detectives, even other teachers and students at South Brunswick.
But the Hagers say they reluctantly signed a consent form allowing their daughter to marry her coach.

That is between him and her. I don't think he should have resigned but should have been moved to another school that was not where his wife attends.

just sick.
Age is just a number. If they are in love, let it be. Is it stupid? Yes. Should it be a crime? no.
