Native American: The definitions I posted were primarily for the benefit of nursie, who stated that the boy was raped and that "it doesn't matter whether he wanted it, initiated it, etc. Still rape".
It does matter. Consent is required for the event not to be considered rape. The student clearly consented. Therefore it is not rape.
You said: "For those who can't live with the law as written, there are other countries that overlook this sort of thing...these people should immediately apply for a visa."
Laws are being re-written all the time. They are not written in stone. Do I need to remind you that it was not long ago that a relationship between an african-american and a white was once considered "sick" and was often illegal? That it was once a crime for homosexuals to be together? That it was once illegal for women to vote? Thank goodness all the americans that didn't agree with the old laws didn't just move to other countries that "overlooked that sort of thing", and instead stayed and fought for basic human rights.
If the 2 people involved are both adults, and the so-called "victim" is not only not laying charges, but is happily engaged in an ongoing relationship with the so-called "perpetrator", I'd say there isn't much to get excited about here.
