17 year olds can be incredibly manipulative; we have been around a lot of them over the years. This homely woman likely was not the recipient of much if any male attention. She also does not look like she is the sharpest tool in the shed. So my guess is that her description of the relationship was probably not too far off.
So she lost her cushy government job and probably her pension. She is now labeled a sex offender, she got 90 days in lockup, and is on probation for ten years. The “victim” was able to manipulate an older woman to get sex for months and now can he blame his being a loser for the rest of his life on his successful pursuit. Something is a little out of tune in the way or society handles this type of situation.
There is a huge difference between teenage boys pursuing older woman and older men pursuing teenage girls. It is only to make some sort of cockeyed and stupid feminist point to not acknowledge this difference. It is just plain stupid.
+1 That woman did not seduce anyone.
No where near as stupid as fantasizing that some teenager wanted this wornout old cow in the society of today where younger and more desirable women are readily available.
This woman was no victim.
Yes, but how typical is this case (assuming she's telling the truth).
Most of these abuse stories lately seem to have older women pursuing teenage boys, rather than the reverse.
