The reason I don’t get all upset when a teacher has sex with a student, when I was a teen all the boys were always trying to have sex with the girls. You had to fight them off, we said they had Russian hands and Roman fingers. They were a bunch of hound dogs and it was like a battle to keep them off you. And I also saw high school senior girls throwing themselves at young male teachers. This was in the 1950s and 1960s. If it is violent rape, that is bad, but if it is just seduction, and they are 12 years old or older, no big deal. Girls used to be married by that age. My aunt was married at 16 and my mom at 19. And they were just little girls.
I have a 13 year old daughter. 12 seems a bit young.
Lol, it is worthwhile to say now and then that this is nothing new. It did happen in those days, but most such news stayed local without all the news outlets that exist now.
I knew of several cases that never came to light. Actually, none ever became generally known during my HS years.
