I think you are confusing yourself and I can't understand with the typo you made about the age of consent being 16 makes it hard to follow your point?
I used to always annoy my ex because I wouldn't nail her til her 15th birthday, she was like but I'm not going to be any different in two weeks and I was like, yeah but the law is the law!
Half age + 7 = 21.5, so it's out of the range of mathematically acceptable relationships.
As a 25 year old working in a school, i can't help but see even the 18 year olds as too young, so seems wrong to me in an ethical sense but when you look at the numbers alone without the back story it seems fine. It's a 50/50 one, based on the nature of where it has come from i'd say nay, if they had just met in a club or something then fine.

It's 15 mate.
Well that's a completely arbitrary figure, just like the age of consent.
What is more important is the maturity of both individuals, which can vary despite age, and the motivations behind a relationship between the two, which obviously can vary and that is often where an age of consent is designed to protect children.
That said, there are plenty of people way over the age of consent who are as naive, or stupid, as are under and really it should be dealt with on a reasoned, individual basis.
People applaud elderly people celebrating 60+ years of marriage, who got together when they were 13-14 (sometimes with partners of a higher age), and yet to start such a relationship now is usually met with contempt, hated and abuse.
I'm not advocating an abolition of an/the age of consent, nor am I advocating older men/women seeking out young teenagers to copulate with, but to simply brand all those in varied-age relationships is frankly insane. And more often than not, the problems are caused by people outside of the relationship who intend to impose their own morality onto others.

I end up with 19/20 years olds on a regular basis and I turn 30 this month...
So no, I don't see a problem

Not sure if serious or just a troll. If serious, you're a paedophile who raped a 15 year old.

Some age gaps can appear a little dodgy. I remember a friend if mine, 18, dating this guy who was in his 40s. It happens more than people realise.

He's not a paedophile, and it isn't statutory rape, it's sex with a minor or something.

Just wondering if you understand a) what a paedophile is and b) what rape is...

It is down to basic instincts that males do tend to prefer younger women. Probably something to do with the instinct to have their seed falling on better and more fruitful pasture. Can't imagine that this case is one to raise too many eyebrows.
By law if someone of age has sex with someone under age it is considered rape regardless of whether or not it was consensual. Again by law that would be a pedophile.
Whether or not by ethics and common sense that is so is another topic altogether.
only problem i see is because he's the teacher and she's the student, which sounds more trouble than it's worth tbh, regardless of the fact she's just about to leave
almost impossible to make any other judgements on whether it would work/is right apart from that

Its 16 in the UK
Wrong.
Consensual sexual intercourse with someone aged 13-16 is NOT rape but is classed as -
"Sexual Activity with a Child" in E&W (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/part/1/crossheading/child-sex-offences) or
"Intercourse with an Older Child in Scotland (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/asp/2009/9/section/28)
If the child is 12 or under then it is Rape -
E&W - http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga...-and-other-offences-against-children-under-13
Scotland - http://www.legislation.gov.uk/asp/2009/9/part/4/crossheading/young-children
Your other statement is also wrong.

A) Paedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to children.
B) Statutory Rape is having sex with someone who is below the age of consent.
Having a fourteen year old girlfriend and having sex with a fifteen year old fulfils both.
A 14/15 year old is still a child

Both A and B are wrong.
A - Attracted to prepubescent children
B - Statutory Rape is having sexual intercourse with children under 13 i.e. 0-12 inclusive.
Even when I put the LEGAL SOURCES in the post above yours you either ignore it or still think what the Government states is incorrect.

I think you need to read up on it, you are wrong on both counts, legally and in some cases (everyone is different and everyone grows up at different rates) morally.
