I was objecting to the use of the word “honor” in describing this punk! I don’t care what his grades were. It doesn’t matter. Honor has no part of this.

The term was "Honor Student", which is a title describing of his academic performance. Separating the word "honor" out changes the meaning.

It's not so different from having to call a judge "Your Honor", regardless of what the judge's character is.

How do his grades count for anything? He broke the law— both civil and moral. She did too, but she gets off because the law considers her a minor.

I am objecting to the not-so-subtle bias infused into this article by mentioning that he is an “honor student”. I’m playing with semantics by pointing out that his deed was NOT honorable.

Did she offer this service? Or, did he coerce her into it? I fail to see what the woman ever gets out of this practice. It seems that all of the pleasure belongs to the man. That is why he is dis-honorable and selfish.

Someone earlier on this thread said that no one had ever been convicted of this. That is patently untrue because I had an employee who spent a year in jail (out of a sentence of three) for this in Wisconsin, and he wasn’t the only one so sentenced.

I really am shockedatthe attitudedisplayed on this thread. There are many here who seem to think that it is this young man’s “right” to seek his pleasure where he can find it with no regard for the consequences to the girl, or to his own future. I certainly hope you are not raising your own children with that attitude, or this society is doomed.

I repeat: Keep it zipped.
