I also think context is important, when I started working in group homes in the early eighties male teachers sleeping with older students was in no way uncommon, I worked with younger male staff who were my age, early twenties, who openly talked about sleeping with the older girls as a perk of the job, I never did and never thought it was ok but I never thought of it as 'abuse' when I was pretty much ok with sleeping with 17 an 18 year old girls as a 22 year old outside of work, the only part that weirded me out was the work part, not the age.
If one of my mates had been shagging a 17 year old when we were 24 or 25 I would have ribbed him unmercifully, made his life a living hell taking the piss out of him but back in the early eighties but I wouldn't have thought of that as abuse, nor would anyone have thought a rock star in his mid twenties shagging a teenager over 16 was anything other than a perk of being a rock star
