Is this a valid relationship?
I suppose if the people involved thought it was then it was, "but the circumstances are certainly unsavoury, at least from a moral standpoint," said Sgt. Robert Allan, of the Barrie Police. (and girldetective)

Or should the woman be charged with something?
No, because "It's not a crime for a 16-year-old to have a relationship with a 42-year-old..." said Sgt. Robert Allan, of the Barrie Police.

Is there a double standard between older men and women who form relationships with minors?
I think so. I believe it is because it is unusual for a woman to behave in the fashion of what in olden times was called "a dirty old man."

Parents: how would you react to such a thing if it were your kid?
I imagine I would be upset at both parties involved, particularly the woman.
