Yes it is relevant. Age was relevant to Pauline behaving the way she did. It made her behaviour all the worse because she was in a position of authority because of it.

No, because at 18, you're treated as an adult and are viewed as being old enough to deal with situations. If an 18 year old committed a crime, they would get the same sentence as a 48 year old. Because as an adult, you are treated the same.
