Here's my question... obviously this young lady was leaving the house and meeting with him. What was she thinking. A 16 year old girl! Did she throw herself at him? Did she seduce him? She carries some of the blame here too.

Aquila, I have a 15 year old daughter. If she were seduced by a 47 year old man, I would feel that he held 100% of the blame. Shame on him. In a position of authority and trust AND a mature adult--he knew better.
I can understand quibbling over statutory rape laws when you have a 16 year old and an 18 year old. Okay. That's a bit of a gray area. But with an age difference like this? Nothing to quibble over.
