Only thing different here is that she wasn't the boy's teacher, which is often the case.
I'm fascinated by the different perception these cases have, in comparison to the Older Man-Underage Girl cases. The men are thought of as sick monsters, but the women get lasciviously profiled on sites like 'Hot For Teacher.'
The general perception of this is "It's a crime...but not really. It's not so bad; what young boy hasn't thought about this?" It's similar thinking to taking drugs, and they actively talk about legalizing drugs.
Opinions?

Well the boy is more to blame than the women in most cases. You can't really blame women considering how the Patriarchy encourages men to be so aggressively flirtatious toward women they're attracted too.

Earlier this month, forty-two-year-old former Tennessee Titans cheerleader Elizabeth Garner was arrested for following a twelve-year-old boy into a bathroom during a party, grabbing his penis and asking if he’d ever been with a woman before. She then apparently tried to remove his shorts to give him a blowjob, but rather than going with it, he decided to run away and tell his mother, who immediately called the police.
And they say justice is blind, yeah until she takes a sneak peek out from under her blindfold more often than not to see what gender it is.
And many women still do get leniency due to their sex followed by the typical slaps on the wrist compared to male offenders. While men lives are practically over in every way except physically, hell you may be even assaulted and killed in prison over it because some inmates don't take kindly to pedos.
Not to say that what they've done is right but let the punishment fit the crime on both sides equally.

Here, the sliding scale is in direct proportion to her looks. If she is very old, ugly and overweight, then she gets treated more harshly by the system. No wonder some of these stories can be the fodder for screwball comedies.

Sorry but that's silly. It's so ridiculous actually that it almost worries me. Unless the adult is mentally challenged it is always their fault for taking advantage of a child or young teen in a sexual manner. I could understand you making an argument on the morality of the issue if you were questioning the age of responsible consent. However, you can't make that argument and still put blame on either side.
Personally I think it's wrong for an adult to sleep with anyone that young and when I say adult i'm talking about someone that is decades older than the "youth" that they are sleeping with.

Every person should have to take a test (an oral one, lol..jkjk) to prove that they are competent enough to make an informed choice when it comes to sexual relationships (assuming they want such a relationship). We'd probably see how often these supposed "children" are not really children and knew exactly WTF they were doing.
I think it is more to do with them not understanding the consequences of the choices put before them rather than not knowing that plug x goes into socket y.
