This story comes up every few years with a female teacher and a male student simply because Americans are retarded and get off on the idea of it. Every time we all have to make a big scene and say "it is just as wrong as when a man does it". And of course everyone makes the joke that the boy enjoyed it. Probably every day a Male teacher gets caught with a female student and it only makes the news in that small town. What people never say is that the girl who does it with her male teacher enjoys it and that she probably got props from her girl friends for doing so because they all had crushes on him too. Ask any middle school teacher who isn't horribly ugly most will tell you that they have had a student or two have a crush on them, it seems to be a natural response. Right and wrong is all just cultural conditioning. In other country's older people routinely marry kids even younger than 13. In Afghanistan there are lots of places where a girl who is 21 is over hill and way to old to get married. I'm not saying its right for adults to have relationships with kids, far from it I have been culturally conditioned to find it repulsive as well. I'm just saying that Americans always think that right and wrong are very black and white.
