“She started having sex with this young man when he was a Freshman! That is usually at the age of 13 or 14. She was in her 30’s. No doubt some believe adolescent sexual fantasies should override the legal, ethical, and moral implications of her behavior. That is wrong.”

Thank you! This is wrong and it’s not anything guys here should be poking fun at. The kid would have been 14 if he was a freshman. You know he is still messed up over it.

Think about this she had sex with him raw and got pregnant. You know he was not her only victim. How many other boys was she laying up with? Adult men maybe? What STD’s was she passing around? Imagine being 14 and catching a STD that you will carry forever like luggage from your teacher?
That kid was too young to think of stuff like that, but she knew.

Didn’t Mary Kay Letourneau ruin Vili Fualaau’s life?

I had not even thought about the very real chance of STDs. That adds a whole new dimension of wrong to the whole sordid story.

By the way, United States courts have uniformly held that boys, no matter what age, have to pay child support for a child they sired, even if the mother was convicted of statutory rape, or just rape.

Hermesmann v. Seyer (State of Kansas ex rel. Hermesmann v. Seyer, 847 P.2d 1273 (Kan. 1993)) set the precedent-setting Kansas case in which Colleen Hermesmann successfully argued that a woman is entitled to sue the father of her child for child support even if conception occurred as a result of a criminal act committed by the woman. Shane Seyer was 12-years-old when he impregnated Colleen Hermesmann, and she later took a plea bargain to a lesser charge than she was originally arrested with. In 1991, the state of Kansas took the then 16-year-old boy to court in the name of the mother to get child support. He appealed, and the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that any crime committed by the mother has no relevance to child support.

Although this was in Kansas, it has been considered a nationwide precedent, and non other court has dissented from it.
