I don't know how many people ended up on CP because they were searching for something different when they typed it into Google, but I mean my position is not a controversial one. Teacher rapists are despicable, and people who think that it's perfectly "legitimate" for a 16 year old and her teacher to have a relationship are too. Canadian law agrees. You more or less agree, so I guess we can leave it at that.

There does exist a philosophical discussion of whether a 16 year old is emotionally capable of entering a relationship as an equal with a 35 yr old in a position of power. And that conversation should be had when creating consent laws. The outcome of that discussion is that in the vast majority of circumstances this is not possible and therefore the law as written is correct and being morally outraged is generally correct. However it is intellectually dishonest to say that it is not possible for such a relationship to exist.
