I know it is against the law but this woman's statement is absurd. You don't have to coerce a 16 year old male into getting it up.
First, the articles neglected many facts. You had to actually dig deep and find that the teacher not only seduced an underaged boy but she did so with drugs and alcohol. What is interesting is that she taught sign language.
Why attack a teacher in her home? Sign language may hold the clue...perhaps the boy was deaf or was in the handicapped area of school with another situation. If this is true, you have a teacher preying upon a child that is handicapped. And you don't do that and get away with the crime.
I would bet if this is the case, a parent/guardian/family member was involved in this attack. And in a way, I don't blame them one bit. BTW, the consequences of this particular case goes further than just sex when drugs and alcohol were involved. That is a sign of forcing your will on someone normally unwilling when sober. Moreover, the drugs and alcohol may cause problems down the road.
Just so we're clear, the phrase "I'd hit it" truly applies to this woman under the presumed circumstances.
