OK, carry it out past this specific case.
Would it be OK for a high school teacher to bang an 18 year old student? How about an idiot that was held back a few years and is 20 years old? It doesn't sound like these would be permissible since "age is immaterial".
Would it be OK for a college professor to bang a 17 or 18 year old student? The ages are the same and a similar authority issue is presented.
If that wouldn't be permissible, what if the college professor is banging a 20 year old, 25 year old, or 40 year old student?
How about a boss banging an 17 year old intern, 18 year old intern, 18 year old employee, or a 30 year old employee. All of these situations involve someone in a position of authority, often times more authority than a high school teacher has.
"an inducement to malfeasance" sounds legal and all, but it is really a bunch of BS. It means the same thing as "trying to do something I don't agree with". People in positions of authority sleep with those under them all the time. It should be handled administratively, not legally.
