If you have to be 18 with an authority figure, why not 18 for everyone else?

I think the difference has to do with the policy decision to crack down on teacher-student relationships. The same can be said for s. 153.1 "Sexual exploitation of person with disability." In that case there is no reference to age but there is a clear emphasis on being in a position of trust or authority over a person with a disability (who could very well be "like" a young person in maturity levels).
