Thread Name: BS: Teacher/Pupil Sex
Subject: RE: BS: Teacher/Pupil Sex
I think there is still a grey area when an adult who is deemed to have some position of authority over a minor persuades them to have sex. The teacher pupil relationship gives the adult a different status than say someone met at a club. The question of consent is put in doubt where it could be deemed that the adult had some sway over the minor and was in a position of trust. It is also a question of professionalism as with doctors.
