You would think the law would be the opposite--normally there are harsher penalties if you have a position of "special trust" due to the increased duty of care and easier ability to take advantage of the other.

Thank god. You know, people say loophole, and I see "fair law". It'd be like "loophole sets accused rapist free because we know women never lie about rape, so he must've gotten out of it and we need to close the loophole of innocent until proven guilty".

Just because you claim something is a loophole doesn't mean it is one. All these people walking free after being accused of crimes because of 'loopholes'....

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 62%. (I'm a bot)

A high school teacher in Utah arrested earlier this year for a tryst with a 17-year-old male student is out of jail due to a legal technicality.

Related Image Sarah Lewis, a former teacher at Landmark High School in Spanish Fork, admitted to having sexual intercourse with the male student in her Payson home, according to a probable cause statement obtained by KUTV. The 27-year-old admitted in court to giving the student vodka prior to having sex, and then told the teen to deny their relationship if anyone ever asked.

MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER, 50, ARRESTED FOR SEX TRYST WITH TEEN BOY STUDENT. But Means then found an amended statute in Utah Code that states, "If a minor is 16 or 17 years old, the rape charge can be reduced to Unlawful Sexual Conduct, when applied to a person who holds a relationship of special trust: such as an adult teacher, employee, or volunteer," according to court documents obtained by KUTV.

"Legislators have taken the teacher portion out of the equation," Stephen R. Allred, a defense attorney with Zabriskie Law Firm, told KUTV. "I don't consider this a loophole. These 16 and 17 year olds do have a choice, and they have chosen to engage in this."

Yep. No victim here.
