I agree about the legality of the issue. What's being discussed though is the level of outrage, or lack thereof depending on whether the minor is a boy or a girl. No doubt this kid 'wanted it'. What if it were the reverse, and it were a 14 year old girl with a 23 year old male teacher. Let's say the police report makes it pretty clear the girl 'wanted it'. Wouldn't there still be a much greater hullaballoo about how the girl was 'taken advantage of' and 'didn't know what she was doing'?
