54. first, "under age" is not under 18
In Kansas it is legal for me to have sex with a 16 year old girl and just as legal for a 47 year old woman to have sex with a 16 year old boy. Not that the parents in both cases would not be mad as heck.

That's not true though if the older person is a teacher. I believe it is even illegal for a 22 year old teacher to have sex with an 18 year old student.

It may seem like a double standard, but I only speak as a former 14 and 15 year old male. If I had had sex at that age, unless I was raped by a really unattractive woman, there is no way I would feel like a 'victim'. Having never been a 14 year old girl, I cannot have the same knowledge.
