But you're a guy.
As a female, I can say I think a girl would have faired better than you think. But we still have laws.
Maybe we can lower the age of consent to erm, 12 nationwide.
There you go... You looked & 'felt' 17 or 18. Some are even mentally advanced as well. (Boys and girls)
I've seen and known many girls that look and 'feel' the same at younger ages. That's still no excuse for a perv to move on them.
I know a 'teenaged' girl that ran off with her married school bus driver and they've been married now for decades and have kids together. Still not the right way to go about it. He should have divorced and waited for her to 'become' legal. Not disapeared one night and given everyone heart attacks.
But you know as well as I that not ALL 14s look and 'feel' older. If a picture of this boy pops up and he look 10yrs old and stick thin maybe then the actual title of 'child rapist' will come out.
Only if this boy looks young will some people stop laughing about something that should never be laughed about. In other times and societies 14yr olds (girls) were married off to older men, but those girls knew their whole lives it was comming. In our society we ALL know adults that 'go after' kids are monsters.
Gender and 'attractiveness' be damned. It's a crime.
>>>I do think this was wrong because she was a teacher, and in a position of authority, but I don't think this "boy" was damaged like a girl would have been.>>>
Girl would not have been damaged if a GORGEOUS 23 year old was 'with her'.
