I heartily disapprove of this whole apparent occurrence. Guy is a statutory rapist probably, endangered the morals of a child, but -
I don’t put him on the same plane as a guy who drags a girl off the sidewalk into his van.
There are levels of evil.
I think the van grabber guy is worse. I can accept laws that reflect that.
In a jury I’d vote to convict and put him away for as long as possible. I believe this is a serious crime and needs to be punished hard. But, not the same level as one who steals you from your bed, say, in the middle of the night. There’s a lot more terror involved, there.

Really how so? They are both the same the way I see it.
Think about it this teacher used the same techniques as the van grabber only he did it slower and over time. Both are predators, both Chris Hanson would have a field day on Dateline NBC, both had the same end motives.
