There are a lot of examples here in which the work either originates or is set in a place where the character is above the local age of consent (if any). It seems to me that this makes them not examples, since the trope is specifically about the risk of jail time if a sexual relationship is pursued, and if they\'re legal, that\'s not a factor (however squicky it may be to our modern Western sensibilities).
