No, it's all very clear. You have a person representing authority ~ albeit through a daisy chain reaching up through the university hierarchy ~ and you have a student.

Hanky panky is generally prohibited in these circumstances.

The nun in question represented no authority at the university. She was in no way part of the authority structure of the university and the student was not a member of the religious group.

The young girl can still be called a victim I suppose, but the nun was not an authority in the university.

Absolutely.

There is no question whatsoever that this is unethical.

Might the student have felt put upon or under some duress to please the "authority" figure? Quite possibly.

However, if both are legally adults and are engaged in a "relationship" then the term "victim" is open to question.
