But one-size-fits-all approaches to laws are not wise. Individual circumstances should always be considered. In your article, a teacher having sex with a high school student isn't comparable to Clinton having sex with 22-year old intern at the White House.
What about Bill Clintons rape of Paula Jones?

Any smart businessman, supervisor would avoid this.

Paula Jones didn't accuse Bill of rape or any sexual assault.

Yes it is. How old was Bill? What is the age difference between a young teacher, say 25, and an 18 year old?

I didn't say they were. But they are WHY he was mercilessly hounded by Republicans in the press. Why they were actively looking for anything impeachable. When he lied, they finally had their excuse.

Should a congressman go to prison for having sex with a young page?

In the 80s my sister had a friend who went to Washington DC to be a page and came back with this joke.

Why to congessmen hate bookmarks? Because they like their pages bent over.
