Hey, that works too. It won't have any support, however. Unfortunately, folks have blinders on as soon as they see "homosexual" and who think "lucky kid" in a nation where many people can't see female teachers preying on male students as molestation or rape. Check one of those stories on FR sometime and you'll see all manner of lewd-minded "attaboy" remarks.
The hypocracy on this in astonishing. I had sex when I was 14 with a 16 year old girl (the age of consent in the UK) and looking back over the years I have no regrets whatsoever! Yet *legally* I was a victim of child molestation, and *legally* she was peadophile. With the benefit of years of adulthood, I neither consider myself a victim nor her a peadophile. We were teenagers being teenagers to the horror of our parents. It was ever thus. Indeed to apply such terms in that case diminishes the full horror of the real child molestation and peaodphilia that exists in the world.
Does the gay angle make it worse? Probably, but Seventeen years? Dear lord. I'm not kidding that is the kind of sentance you normally associate with China or Nigeria or the taliban.
