Under your rules, Mary should go to jail, but Jane should not?
Yeah, agree to disagree on that. Mary and Jane should both be fired, and Mary's teaching certifications should be revoked. College profs usually don't have such things, but if you can put a permanent black mark on her resume, that's cool too.
But JAIL? That's ridiculous in my mind.

There has to be a line. If in your state a girl is 17 years and 364 days old and has sex with a 30 year old he goes to jail assuming that state has a consent age of 18. Where as a girl who is 17 years and 366 days old has sex with a 55 year old man and it isn’t a crime.
I think that kids grow up more in their first 3 weeks of college than they do in their last two years of high school which is why I’d make the HS teacher/student a crime.
Of course it isn’t 100% perfect, but in my extremely limited educational opinion on the subject that is where the line should be drawn.
