When I was 13 I would have loved to have had my “youth stolen” in such a way.
It is nonsense plain and simple to say that a 13-year-old boy who is probably masturbating himself into insensibility every day lusting over women just like this is going to be traumatised by having sex with such a beautiful young woman.
Perhaps you believe in a mythical Norman Rockwell world where 13-year-old boys spend their youths running with their faithful dogs, climbing trees and swimming in rivers totally oblivious to the hormones surging through their bodies, such a pre-Lapsian time never existed.
The law is the law and I respect that, and the woman must be punished, I do not deny that, but let’s not lose the run of ourselves here talking about the poor kid having his youth stolen.

what if the ‘poor kid’ is a girl...? Any male teacher would be clapped in irons and registered as a sex offender, and everybody here would be applauding...

Well, I think it would be quite a stretch to compare my youth or the youth of my peers to a Norman Rockwell painting, but I sort of cherish the time when I didn’t have to think and worry about the crap I have to think about and worry about now. With people living into their 80’s on average these days, what’s the hurry?
Even worse, 150 years ago, people _got married_ at 15...and they also ran a starter farm from land their families gave them, and had real adult responsibilities. So, the time from sexual maturity to adult responsibility was about a year or two. Now, it’s moving lower on one end and higher on the other - to about 15 years, I’d guess.
But these are just the babblings of a crusty old fart.
Would you feel the same way if it was a man who raped the 13 year old boy? By your logic, the teen boy wouldnt have his youth stolen.
Would a thirteen year old girl be traumatized? When I was thirteen I was still into things like Pokemon. This teacher surely used grooming behavior like any other predator and this boy will taken on the same behaviors as an adult.
