15 will get you 20
He's 17 that would be legal in some states.... this isn't nearly like the case with the 40 year old and the 12 year old... she is stupid and should be fired but I don't see the point of taking up prison space with her.
Legalize the double standard. Equality is not equivalence.
Taft, CA ping!
Seems like ther's a new case every week. Either female teachers have gotten a lot more wild n' crazy in recent years, or this stuff used to go on all the time and nobody thought it a big enough deal to prosecute.
[end of the usual stupid rant posted on these threads]
Most boys wouldn't tell....
why should they?
"Seems like ther's a new case every week. Either female teachers have gotten a lot more wild n' crazy in recent years, or this stuff used to go on all the time and nobody thought it a big enough deal to prosecute."
It was certainly going on in my day... but what boy would spill the beans? And would turn in a cool teacher? Sheesh..the younger generation is very disapointing sometimes...
Now as a teacher I wouldn't even tap a girl on the shoulder... but that's different. :)
Apparently she wasn't that good of a math teacher or she would have known the odds.
No, they don't tell, they brag.
...four counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old student, and one count each of oral copulation and sodomy with the same student.
"4 + 1 + 1 = 6. See how easy addition is, Johnny? Now try it again, sweetie..."
It was usually male teacher after female students back then. Now that was a big deal. The guy was ruined for life, though there was one teacher smart enough to wait for a classmate to become of age, and then he ended up marrying her......
You forgot to add "pictures, where are the pictures?".
My 8th grade English teacher, a real cutie, caused irrepairable damage to me which I have never gotten over.
She never even hinted a thing much less .. urrrr... never mind.
which begs the question..
Do teachers colleges even teach ethics these days , much less any institution?
I'm not sure how she gets charged with Sodomy, it seems like that would be something he would have done.....
Plus, didn't the Supreme Court rule that Sodomy was OK?
I know where you're coming from, but I disagree with your premis. This woman was 35, he was 17. Besides the "sick" factor here, its IS against the law. If we start watering down sentencing because some states are more permissive than others, the respect for the law becomes a joke. Absolutely no teacher in K-12 should ever under any circumstance be allowed to have sex with a student. Period. I don't care if you have a 19 year old on his third try at senior year. Teachers are in a position of authority and like any other workplace, authority is too easily abused and should be prohibited.
"He's 17 that would be legal in some states.... this isn't nearly like the case with the 40 year old and the 12 year old... she is stupid and should be fired but I don't see the point of taking up prison space with her."
It's legal in California, too, but it's against the law for teachers to have sex with minor students. That's why the unlawful sexual intercourse charge.
Otherwise, 17 year olds can rut as they choose.
She was 31. Doesn't change your point, just wanted to correct the record.
I'm here for the pictures. Just kidding.
OK, I'm not kidding. Where are the pics?
