WTF are you even talking about "authority". No one has such authority over other adults except in some particular circumstances like a police officer working on the job or dealing with mentally handicapped people or such things.
The problem is the terms used are too vague. What it does it mean to have "authority" over someone? Does that mean someone is a prisoner, a student, or an employee? Does a manager at Wendy's have "authority" over one of their employees. I would think yes. Companies and the US military already has rules and laws in place about this.

One hand, the teacher who is banging his eighteen year old student has done nothing wrong. He's having sex with another adult. On the other hand, I have a daughter in school, and if I found out her teacher was having sex with her - no matter her age - the least of his concerns would be tossing the salad in prison.
