She was a teacher. He was a sixth grade student. They had sex.

What else do you need to know to draw an "initial conclusion?" Under what possible scenario do you think this relationship is undeserving of scorn?

Under what possible scenario? Well:

Suppose he came to her and said, I am passionately in love with yuu, if you don't have sex with me right now, I will kill myself. And suppose she knew him well enough to be convinced that he would, and that the only way to save his life was to have sex with him. So she did.

I don't argue that this happened. But if it had, I wouldn't think the relationship deserving of scorn.

Or, another possible scenario: A masked gunman broke into the classroom after school while he and she were alone. The gunman pointed the gun at the student and said to the teacher: "either you have sex with him right now, or I shoot him in the head." If she does, would that be deserving of scorn?

Of course, these are not what happened. But to answer your question, yes, I can imagine possible scenarios under which this relationship is undeserving of scorn.

If I can imagine these, I can accept that there might be others less unlikely. I don't know. None of us really knows what went on between these two. But the simple facts as you stated them are not sufficient to guarantee that the realtionship deserved scorn.
