Fired, and possibly suspended from teaching, yes. Charged with a crime and imprisoned, no. As it was a crime perhaps if they plead no contest and got a small fine that would satisfy the letter of the law, and they would not go on any sex offender's register or anything. Here we have a system where people can plead guilty and be discharged without conviction, meaning they have no criminal record even though they admitted to committing the crime.

16 is the age of consent here. I am not sure about the law when it comes to teacher student relations, but I'm pretty sure it's not a criminal offence for a teacher to have sex with an of age student. But it is a socially unacceptable situation and the teacher would be disciplined, possibly fired and potentially de-registered as a teacher. I'm pretty sure whatever the situation if the student was underage at the time (i.e. 15) the teacher(s) would be charged with a crime. But the outcome could be discharge without conviction if the situation warranted it and the teacher(s) pleaded guilty.

When I was 16, if those 2 teachers wanted to get with me I doubt I could have stopped myself. But then again I think it would have been all over within 15 seconds.
