So, you’re okay with a person in a position of power engaging in such behavior with someone who they hold power over?
The issue isn't with whether the behavior is wrong. The issue is with the punishment. When the participants are both adults, the punishment for the teacher should be firing, not prison.

if the “person in position of power” is a chick, YES! By the way, about that “position of power”,,, oh, nevermind.

I don’t necessarily.....HOWEVER, JAIL???? That is where the line should be drawn. Fire her, but don’t put her in jail. He is 18 years old. There is not one issue here that should cause her to go to jail.
Who said that? No, it's not OK. But it doesn't need to be a criminal offense either. Just because something is a bad idea doesn't mean it has to be against the law. School district policy is plenty.
But now I read that apparently Texas does have such a law. The only way that makes any sense is if there is any evidence of coercion. Absent that... and if everybody's over 18, there's no reason that a law needs to cover it. Let the school discipline or fire the teacher. Done.
