Well, for "School of Lost Souls," I never say whether the situation is good or bad, or who is at fault. I know that, given my audience, I don't have to. The scenario is erotic, sure, but so is a woman's rape fantasy; it's not a condoning of the premise of the fic, and that's taken for granted by a community of feminist readers that teachers should not sleep with their teenaged students.
If my audience was, OTOH, a bunch of guys going "Ooh, tap that young jailbait student ass, teacher!" or "Scored with the teacher! Cool!" or "It's the student's own fault she ended up badly, because she had sex" it'd be sending a completely different message, shaping the audience in a completely different way, and I wouldn't be comfortable with it at all.
