What do you think?

Real quick one.  What do you think of this?  If you click the link it'll take you to a story on the latest female teacher/ under age boy story.  The site also follows the story up with a list (with pictures) of other such women.  I am curious about how other people feel about what the judge said; had this been a 29 year old man with a 17 year old female jail time would have been served.  Why is there a double standard there?  It seems that social consensus is that under age females are damaged by these  inappropriate illicit trysts while under age boys are not.  I have actually heard the opinion that boys actually "win the lottery" in these situations.  Is it the universal belief that girls (women) should be protected while boys should be prompted to engage in actions of conquest and exploration that creates the double standard?
