Way to go, Judge! Plea bargaining with sex offenders must be ended.
I'd park my bike in her garage.
DItto a million times.....A zillion times.....Not being 14 anymore, suggests My current hormone levels and subsequent marriage brings the numbers down a bit right now....Out scott free, charges dropped. "Too pretty for prison."
-her lawyer. Debra Lafave-"I am a strong Christian woman and I won't let this happen again."
All charges dropped http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1600485/posts
I'm not surprised that he doesn't want to testify against her. most likely hoping for a reunion.
I'm sure you've been flamed to a crisp here, so I'm going to agree with you... Sort of...
I seem to recall that when I was 14, "I was so horny that the crack of day wasn't safe!" Yes, 14 year old boys tend to be full of hormones, and will do amazingly stupid things for the attention of girls in general: Which is why it's so important that 14 year olds SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SEX in the first place! They don't have the emotional maturity to think over the consequences of having sex, or doing the things that they think will get them sex.
At 14, I would have jumped at the chance to have sex with her. Heck, at 44, I'd still jump at the chance... Well, maybe, she's awfuly cute... But that's not the point.
The whole point isn't what the boy should have done. It's that she should never have put the boy in that situation. That's where the problem is. You've got an adult in a position of authority who's taking advantage of a young boy, plain and simple. I honestly think that it would be different if the boy were 18, 17, and maybe even 16, as far as the possible damage that she might have inflicted on the boy. But 14 is way wrong. Even at 18, she should lose her teaching certificate, but there shouldn't be criminal charges. But for having sex with a 14 year old boy, yes.

The problem is we are trying to accept the moronic idea that men (boys) and women (girls) are equal in all respects - it obviously isn't so!
