Even though I disagree with you, at least you are fair.

In reality, an 18 year old is no more or less mature than any 16 year old.

Wrong. Put a 16-year-old and an 18-year-old in boot camp and my money is on the 18-year-old.

No one in the US really cares what happens in Autralia and Europe. Statutory rape in the US is statutory rape in the US. Messing with a minor is a CRIME in this country, and people deserve to be jailed for it.

I stand by my statements that people who defend this are sick in the head and most likely cannot get anyone their own age, so they have to try to exploit the naivete of a teenager to get laid. That is vile.

I'm also willing to wager that the people who are defending this don't have children. Come back when you catch a 22-year-old humping your 16-year-old daughter in the back seat of a car and tell us how you feel then.

I find it offensive that non of these teachers crossed paths with me and showed me a good time, instead letting me fend for myself.

I am envious and offended at these students who had their dreams come true, with an older woman who though them all the ropes.

That being said, there are laws that state a person in a position of authority should not cross that professional line with their students, especially under age ones.

And if men are locked up, women should be too. Equal rules for everyone.
