These offenses should be prosecuted MORE harshly because of that. Of course I am referencing Libby, but also this story.

Police say a 37-year-old veteran Child Protective Services caseworker carried on a two-year sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl he was supervising.
The girl, now 17, told Grand Prairie police in late May that from 2005 to just before he resigned in late April, Fredrick Shavers had sex with her when he picked her up for visits with her infant son or for court appearances.
Sometimes, the girl told police, her child was present during the incidents, most of which took place in the caseworker's car.
"We have a mountain of evidence to prove this occurred," said Grand Prairie police Sgt. Alan Patton.
