Last November, Los Angeles Unified School District lawyers fighting a civil lawsuit argued in court that a 14-year-old middle school student was mature enough to consent to having sex with her 28-year-old teacher, and that she bore some responsibility for what happened. The district's attorneys also introduced the girl's sexual history into the trial as part of their defense strategy.
Two legal experts sharply criticized the school district for using those tactics. They also said the case highlights a little-known conflict in California law: while the age of consent is firmly set at 18 in criminal cases, at least two appellate court rulings have found that in civil cases, it is possible to argue that a minor can consent to sex with an adult.
Last November's case involved a math teacher at Thomas Edison Middle School in Southeast Los Angeles who in December 2010 began a six-month sexual relationship with a girl who went to the school. The teacher, Elkis Hermida, was convicted of lewd acts against a child and sentenced in July 2011 to three years in state prison.

so... not guilty? just damn
The child molestor's picture should be in every public square
What a sick, sick society we've become.
mugshot at article link.
three separate cases were referenced in the article.
this one looks like a guy to me. :-}
and you vote to pay even more
i say we should let you pay more than the other 49 combined
california is a cesspool - and only nirvana in the minds of the fools that choose to live there
What kind of a country advocates giving up an enormous chunk of its own territory when things go wrong?
The chunk that happens to have the best farmland. And Silicon Valley, where the future is being invented right now. And the tenth biggest economy in the world.
How would it help America to just give it up?
If you’re mad about the colonization by a foreign country, why don’t you and the other 49 accept responsibility for giving up the border instead of blaming the conquered Americans who live here, and reclaim the state for America?
Everybody on this website opposes amnesty tooth and nail... But when it comes to California, oh, that’s different. “Let ‘em have it!”
I really don’t get it.
Los Angeles Unified School District
around here they are called Independent School Districts, even though they are really run from Austin and DC these days
Elkis Hermida is a certified sicko and the attorneys that argued for him should have gotten his three years with Elkis getting many more.
Would you agree that there are good people in Cali? I would.
Would you agree that Cali is also lib central of America? It’s a fact.
Would you agree that since the 60s, California has grown increasingly leftist and had an increasingly negative impact on America Overall? It’s hard to argue.
Would you say that the good people of cali have not only tried and failed to fix the state, but that the problems with it have gotten worse? They have.
So logically it makes sense to stop trying. Enough time has elapses and enough effort has been expended. California offers nothing the other states cannot supply in abundance.
In medical terms? Gangrene. Eventually amputation is required when all else fails. All else has failed.
I live on your border. I have had SWAT guys crawl through my rural yard because one of your third strikers escaping your utopia decided AZ was easy pickins and a way to avoid strike 3. I don’t like ducking bullets. So I am not inexperienced with your bounty to America.
bingo
except for wackjob laws - like that williamson act thing (or whatever its called) - its connected to the land - NOT the owner - and NEW owners are bound by it
Absolutely correct!
But for a criminal case, a rap sheet as long as the guy's arm can't be introduced.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Or at least castrate him....
That should not be considered an alternative to real punishment.
That works for me. I’d love it if CO would cut the FedMob tap right now and end their blackmail over state laws and regs.
See??? I TOLD you after gay marriage was sanctified by the state that pedophilia would be legalized. They’ve been trying to normalize it for a long time anyway, arguing children are perfectly capable of consent and one day it will be legal. Polygamy and incest are next.
