In this case, I feel that the intellectual reaction is splitting hairs, however, [so it is entirely reasonable to consider the emotional reaction] - for example, by comparing two blatantly different circumstances & declaring them to be equal, such as in the case of a couple of kids, aged 15 & 17, to an adult in a position of authority aged 34, and a child aged 15. Yes, I do realise that in the eyes of the law these cases are both illegal but some logic and reason should be applied when comparing the cases. As Mel says, the case of the child couple is naughty, wheras the case of a 34 year old school teacher and a 15 year old pupil is an abuse of power and responsibility.
