Put it this way, although I don’t agree with what occurred, I have seen in my lifetime legal ages for marriage as low as 12 & 14, and I have also witnessed in a courtroom a consensual sexual tryst go to court. A case involving twenty-something male and a 16 year old girl actually be reversed because they both stated under oath that they were having consensual relations. So, that’s where the consensual question came from. Not in any other way other than I was wondering if the minor female was forced into the abduction or if she went along with it as part of a consensual relationship.

If it was consensual it will be an interesting event to follow to see what does actually occur in a court of law.

I understand the point you are trying to make, but I don’t believe that a sexual relationship between teacher and pupil of that age could ever be considered “consensual” due to the position of authority and trust that the teacher is abusing. Even if they were closer in age, the teacher/student relationship when it becomes a sexual one, involves coercion.
Always.

Again, categorically impossible. His age, and his position of authority.
