I don't think this is the sole issue.

I think this is a result of giving younger and younger kids more legal rights with regards to sexuality.  When is the age of consent?  When is a young girl allowed to receive birth control, abortions, etc with out any parent knowledge or consent?  In some cases, as young as 12 for the latter.

I think that treating children as legal adults when it comes to sex, even in some circumstances, and putting a barrier between responsible parenting and the child, creates a situation where creeps and perverts are able to get away with taking advantage of children.

We have a sexual age of consent and statutory rape laws.  I don't believe that birth control and abortion rights under the age of consent for a sex act with others are relevant.

I don't think judges should be judging the victim and making qualifications about when statutory rape is REALLY rape.  This judge was quoted as saying, to paraphrase, "well it's not RAPE rape, it wasn't violent...."  That's no excuse.  Sex with someone underage is and should remain a crime.  Period.

ESPECIALLY when the perp is a teacher for goodness sakes.  Someone who was in a position of trust and power over children.
