The state has the age of consent set at 16, and additional restrictions which apparently apply to any school employee or even the spouse of an employee against sex with older teens. What is your objection?

It's no more sick then men having carnal knowledge with each other.

I'm sure there is plenty of questioning and loss of reputation, but it's not prosecuted as a legal offense.

When you have dumb laws you get dumb behavior.

Exactly - none of which I knew. So it is interesting, if nothing else.

Not really. According to Wikipedia - Each U.S. state (and the District of Columbia) has its own age of consent. Currently state laws set the age of consent at 16, 17, or 18. By far (at least 30 states) the most common age is 16. Most states in addition have close-in-age exceptions that allow teenagers younger than the general age of consent to engage in consensual sex as long as their partners are close in age to themselves.

Here's a good chart.
