RE: Abusive Law-Enforcement Officials Face Prospective Backlash For Frivolous And Malicious Statutory-Rape Cases Against Americans
Welp in Germany the age of consent is 14, but teachers can still be punished because of the special relation they have to the children.
It is also called "abuse of minors" and not "statutory rape". I think there is a huge difference in sexual abuse and full on rape.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe that the sex laws pertaining to minors are set up the same way in Austria. That is, the statutory age of consent in Austria is 14, but schoolteachers are prohibited by law from having liaisons with their minor students. When I was living in New York City so many years ago and I was touring the United Nations building, I remember reading a publication there in their bookstore that revealed that the statutory age of consent in Kenya was 13 years old but that it was still illegal for a schoolteacher to have sexual relations with a student younger than 21 years of age. I don't know if those are still the laws in that country, but I found it interesting how a schoolteacher's legal obligation not to sexually intermingle with students extended right up into the collegiate years there.
