I don't think statutory rape charges should lead to a sentence no-tolerance because the late-teen years are really a grey area. People mature at different rates, and there are definitely sixteen-year-olds who know what they want. If I was the judge, I would drop the case if there was no evidence that her position in power affected his decision. I think it's somewhat similar to those cases where statutory rape charges are dropped between two teenagers because their ages are so similar, despite being underage. There's a big difference between a teacher and a peer, but I don't believe in absolutes and that just because one party is a teacher that sex between a pair necessarily has to be rape.
