Well, if you're talking about austerity with the sex laws in English-speaking nations like the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, you won't get any argument out of me. Like the United States, those nations are a part of the Anglosphere; and when it comes to their statutory-rape laws, the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree in an Anglospheric sense. Nonetheless, the United States is still worse than any of the other nations outside the Anglosphere in that same respect. Otherwise, Germany would not have provided legal protection to Steven Robert Whitsett from the U.S. authorities and he would be sitting in a Florida prison cell at this very moment. Go to his YouTube channel named Common Sense Laws and watch his videos, and you'll see how diametrically different non-English speaking nations are from the United States when it comes to their sex laws. You'll be surprised about how much more reasonable these non-English-speaking nations are with their sex laws than the United States. In several of his videos, Mr. Whitsett does explain that German sex laws do differentiate between teenage minors and small children under 11 years old whereas in many jurisdictions of the United States, American sex laws don't.
Are their foreign nations that have separate statutory-rape laws that address sexual liaisons between teachers and underage students? Of course, there are. I recall one time when I was browsing through some books at a book store in the United Nations building back when I was living in New York, I came across this one book that indicated that at the time it was illegal for an adult schoolteacher to have sexual intercourse with a student younger than 21 years of age despite that the actual statutory age of consent in that nation was 13 years old. I once watched a movie from Spain that indicated that their sex laws were set up the same way as Kenya's sex laws were in that regard.
