Consensual? Sort of. She agreed but keep in mind that there was as a great disparity in age and position that made it an unequal partnership. It could get a person fired in a regular workplace. Clinton is not the alternate role model we should seek.
No one is saying Bill Clinton is a rol model. But, Lewinsky was an adult. She made a choice. There are planty of marriages between folks who have a "great disparity in age and position" but we have an age of consent and she was well above that age.

Lewinsky was 21 at the time. Hardly having the same experience or power as Clinton. He claimed to have the skills necessary to lead a country but not the judgement to leave an intern alone. What if it had been a senile old woman? Would you say she was old enough to consent?
