Absolutely. The boy obviously had issues, and she played upon those issues. She could have walked away and said it is over, but she instead chose to repeatedly goad him until he finally acquiesced.

I agree it was sleazy - but I can also hear the defense stating, rightfully so, that she was not qualified to understand his issues properly. It's why we have "expert" witnesses and rely on testimony of so-called "experts" in some cases. It could just as easily be said that she has sociopath issues which amount to her needing psychiatric help.

I would not be sad to see her indicted/convicted but we also need to have some lines within the legal system to insure it isn't up to the discretion of those who are offended vs. the actual laws and intents of the laws under the Constitution.

So many of our problems have been caused by politicians selling us on, or claiming, some "Noble Cause" clause in the Constitution that my "spidey sense" goes off with such cases.
