What punishment would a male teacher have received?

[RetiredSWO]

As Johnny Cash would say
Life Without Parole

[WV Mountain Mama]

Does this mean the boy can't brag to his friends anymore about banging a 24 year old hottie when he was only 14?

[derllak]

She's not so hot without her clown makeup. If I were a guy, I'd avoid her like the plague. What a scuzzbag!

[jackv]

And some 4o something just got 30 years for doing it with her sons friends?? Why the huge difference?

[Old Grumpy]

Her lawyer should be very pleased; he told the media she was too pretty to be in prison.

[Rodney King]

She was ugly.

[wireman]

I can tell you're not a guy!

[Robert357]

One sick lady. She was hired by the school district to a position of trust and authority and she abused that trust.

[derllak]

Honestly, would this be the woman you'd want to spend your life with? Have chilren with? Dude, your standards are way too low! Trust me, you can do a LOT better than that scummy loser.
And I still say she's nothin' to look at. She's creepy!

I disagree

[wireman]

"Honestly, would this be the woman you'd want to spend your life with?"

NO...

But I always had fun with the Miss Wrongs before Miss Right came along (23 years ago).

[wireman]

She looks sweet to me. Crazy, but sweet.

[Calusa]

I wish I had your meds. These women are actually victims of reverse discrimination from retrograde feminist prosecutors. Their position is they couldn't convict men who statutory rape juvenile girls if they didn't go after women who have sex with young boys. Their real agenda is to try to force upon the people their fallacious claim that there are no real irreducible differences between the sexes.

[DA740]

Geez. Where was she when I was 14? As soon as I finished my paper route, we would sneak upstairs at a buddy's house and look through his Playboy magazines under the bed. Couple of times I damm near exploded on the spot.

A 25 year-old broad like that would have made those years a little easier for all of little punks.

Some guys get all the breaks.

I hear ya!

This kind of double standard really pisses me off. I have to be paranoid that I am never in a situation with a female student alone in my room. I am not quite as vulnerable as I was a few years ago. I am now in my late 30's and married w/children. I started teaching when I was 21, and boy howdy there were some extremely attractive female students hitting on me. It was only a 3 yr. difference between some of them a myself. But, I knew it was wrong and went out of my way to avoid any issues. A former male student of mine is now teaching in the same H.S. with me, and he is having to deal with the same stuff. Fortunately he is a good Christian guy,and asks me for advice when a questionable situation arises. His own common sense and some advice from me has kept his arse out of hot water.

[papasmurf]

A. I don't think she's a "hottie".
B. She sports a very arrogant look.
C. If being "attractive" will keep you outta' jail, I better not get busted for ANYTHING!

:O)
