How come he wasn't thrown in jail for having an inappropriate relationship with a minor? She was under the age of 18 and he is 10 years older than her. If she was 16 then she was most likely still in high school and his being a teacher should have made him aware that relationships with underage students is a big no-no. Maybe they were discrete but it calls into question his character and her judgment.
Even if Spain has the same kind of statutory rape law as the US has, it would not be a crime unless Letizia's parents pressed charges against him. In such a case, it's up to the parents to pursue the charge. Otherwise, there is not any crime. If he was liked by her family, maybe the relationship wasn't a problem at all, or at least the parents were able to accept it.
Having said that, I have no idea if Spain has such a law like the US does.
