(16,191 posts)Sexual consent laws have always included exceptions. You can't consent to sex with a close relative. You can't consent to sex with a law enforcement officer if you have been arrested or detained. You can't consent to sex with doctors who are treating you. The laws recognize that, even though you may be legally able to have consensual intercourse with anybody you choose, consent is prohibited in situations where imbalanced power relationships can lead to abuse. It doesn't mater if you're 16 or 36...if the law says you can't give consent, then you can't give consent, and the other person is committing a crime if they touch you.
Teacher/student relationships have long been one of these exceptions. It would have been perfectly legal for this woman to pick up these 16 and 17 year old boys at the local park for her sexual orgies, but it's a crime for her to pick up on her own students for that kind of thing. She cannot use her position of power, as a teacher, to obtain sexual consent from ANY students under her authority.
