Well there are several in jail for merely eloping with a pupil. let alone "grooming" so I'd say if it was a bloke he'd have been in HMHC PDQ.

Yet another one, could it be that the Women Prisons are full?

having sex, legally, with a 16-year-old, doesn't exactly make you a nonce.

To answer the OP: I suspect not. The fact that the "victim" refused to speak against her may have mitigated the sentence, though: the judge said there was mutual affection, so it's not clear whose interests would have been served by locking her up.
