It certainly makes sense. However what about gender equality? 
Double standards of pease.
The double standard isn't just for sex crimes
You think if this was a man, he would've just been acquitted? Or do you think he would have spent the rest of his life in prison?
On a side note, when I was 15 I would've gladly let that 40yo do whatever it is she had to do to me

Can't imagine saying no to an opportunity like that. When i was 19 or 20 I was "dating" a 30 year old for a couple months and couldn't be more proud of myself.
