The relationship started when the student was 16. Under the law, he's a minor therefore it's statutory rape. They should be punished accordingly.
Not rape if he was willing -- and apparently he was, multiple times ◦°˚\(*❛‿❛)/˚°◦ The age thing is stupid and arbitrary -- sixteen years old is fine enough to be f**king around, regardless of who you decide to do it with as long as you're safe about it. Hence sixteen being the legal age of consent in most countries that aren't as puritanical as the US, including all of these: Andorra, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Finland, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Netherlands, Northern Cyprus, Norway, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom -- and that's just Europe alone.
The only real issue here is that it was a teacher/student relationship.
