I don't understand the law at all. Especially when the dudes involved with her were clearly alright with it. She shouldn't face any more legal penalties than if she was having group sex with 5 people and she was a stripper.

The law's rationale is quite simple. Teachers, particularly those who teach young people, have a high degree of power and influence over their pupils. This law is intended to shield said pupils. Your example of the stripper doesn't really apply.

The best of intentions usually make the worst kind of laws.  Ever heard of the War on Drugs or Prohibition? 

The students involved with her were 18+ and more than capable of making their own decisions.  Don't be the type of busy body person who pushes your opinions on others by making unnecessary laws.
