The “underage student” was 17 years old, folks. My father was a 17 year old college freshman when he enlisted in the Army after Pearl Harbor, so we’re not talking about a child here - or even a “victim” in any real sense.

Not relevant. In the context of teacher-student relationships.

It's more comparable to a lecher-boss who "seduces" his 17 yo employee-underling.

Some bosses might fire an employee who doesn't "comply" to sexual demands; or at least cap the promotional ceiling.

Likewise, teachers are in a position of authority to skew grades -- and it's not always "flunking" a student who resists advances. Sometimes, it goes the other way...for example...

In Oklahoma, 25 yo teacher started texting her 17 yo student...by age 18, the relationship "escalated":

"The arrest report states that the student was flunking English last semester but currently has a 98 percent grade point average.​"

Anyway, your comment shows complete ignorance of the above dynamic.

I mean, would you pull the "she's 17...not talking about a child here" re: a girl preyed upon by either her step-father or the guy her mom is dating?

Give me a break.

Pathetic.

No, it is comparable to the boss who caps/fires everyone until he finds young employees who “seduce” him/her to get ahead (i.e. Monika Lewinski) or keep their jobs. Sexual harassment laws have changed exactly nothing.
